Hi
Endocervical cells are present normally in the cervix just like squamous cells and is not a cause of concern. In your case pap smear report suggests inflammation, which could possibly be due to infection. Causal agent is probably enterococci which was isolated in the vaginal culture. So you need to consult your gynecologist for further treatment.
Regards.
