1. The left column is what they tested you for. And on the right you will have a “positive/negative” or a numeric indicator. If that’s the final exam, you should have the right column with something filled in, call them to be sure

2. It’s possible that all the results aren’t in yet. The easier ones get done quick and then the other tests come later. In general I have had delays of up to a week or so for some of my tests. The easy stuff gets done first.

3. The first one are PCR. It can be positive or negative. The second one is a culture. There is either no growth (negative) or growth. If there is growth, the lab can determine what type of antibiotics will work.

   Tl;dr
   Pcr is + or –
   Culture tells which antibiotic to use.
