what are diphtheroids in urine
Are you sure these are C&S results? They sound like the results of a gram stain and microscopic exam of the urine, which is not the same, and tells you very little. Diphtheroids are bacteria that are shaped similar to the diphtheria bacteria (but are NOT diphtheria).he culture is also pretty much worthless unless a sensitivity test was also done to tell you what antibiotic would be appropriate if there were symptoms such as these. Also both are common on the skin and in the vagina and may indicate an incorrectly collected urine specimen.
