Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There is nothing much to worry, the growth of occasional bacteria might only be due to contamination from skin or other sources, the colony count of more than 100,000/ml is important, so count of 10,000/ml is normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Noor Us Saba Z
