"Lots of bacteria" gram positive bacteria is normal, gram negative is indicator of infection. I assume since they saw yeast they did and gram stain and wet mount. ( yes, about 10 minutes ) I would hope they would not treat normal healthy bacteria. The fact that they saw yeast but not budding yeast is normal but if you start giving antibiotics that could give the yeast the environment to thrive.
Can you call them? Ask what percentage of gram negative they saw?
