This means what was taken for culture consists of more than one type of bacteria. Each is Gram+ and each shows different colony structures or growth on the Petri dish. Each will have to be grown separately so that it can be positively identified. The term flora is used to indicate that these may be natural bacteria from the skin or gut.

Mixed non-uropathogenic gram positive flora?

This term refers to a mixed population of gram-positive bacteria that are commonly found in the human body but are not typically associated with causing urinary tract infections. These bacteria may include species such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, which are part of the normal microbiota in various body sites. Finding mixed non-uropathogenic gram-positive flora in a urine culture usually does not indicate an infection but rather contamination from nearby body surfaces.

Is it normal to have 3 plus mixed skin flora within a wound?

Normal skin flora is a combination of many types of micro-organisms, including bacteria, viruses and yeast. When a wound occurs, some "normal flora" are introduced into the wound, especially in a penetrating wound such as a stabbing or shooting. When a wound culture is performed, the pathologist looks for "normal flora" which could become pathogens if the organisms begin to multiply, especially since those organisms of the normal flora are now in a place they should not normally be (i.e. transferred from the skin to inside the body, in a blood-rich environment). The pathologist also looks for other pathogens, such as the once-normal flora of the assailant or perpetrator which could infect the new host (the person with the wound).
