The results came back routine respiratory flora. I cant get anyone at One Medical to respond/explain so I thought Id check here and see if that means Im ok or if something else is going on.. ### Response: It means you have the normal bacteria that grow in your mouth. As for whether or not you are improving from strep throat, the culture has no bearing on that..
