Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!
Yes bacteria in the urine would mean infection more so if it is associated with urinary frequency and pain on urination.
Usually UTI would entail treatment with antibiotics for 7 days Antibiotics that we commonly use are ciprofloxacin or cefuroxime but since this requires a prescription you might need to see your local physician to get one.
In the meantime drink plenty of water.
