Urine is not composed of "organisms". Urine is the body's waste products, filtered out by the kidneys. It is 95% water. Many, many substances and materials can make up the rest of the volume of urine. Sodium, ammonia, phosphates, urea, sulfate, creatine, vitamins, amino acids, hormones, enzymes are some examples. If bacteria is present in your urine, that indicates you have a UTI; if there is blood in your urine, you've probably got a kidney infection, kidney stones...
