The symptoms and signs decide the seriousness not the report. This is not a common organism in urine infection. It may be a skin contaminant if the symptoms don't match the report. Collecting urine correctly is difficult for kids. Clean the private with soap properly before collection. Follow other instructions properly. If possible, visit a hospital for collection. No need to worry. Treatment is with antibiotics
