"Contamination from the genital tract" is a notation that may be found on a urine culture result. If the specimen is not a "clean catch, mid-stream" sample, it's possible that there will be so much bacteria in the sample from the skin outside the genitals that a specific cause for the urinary symptoms cannot be identified.
