most likely it is a contaminated sample .
however it's difficult to say as you don't mention about clinical symptoms and how was sample collected.
Despite that these results showing occasional gram positive and gram negative bacilli then it's more likely a contaminated report
Moreover if bacteria are more than 100000/ml that is significant bactiuria.
so It's a contaminated urine sample
for better result you need a mid stream sample.
