Urinary Tract Infections Attributable to Zoonotic E coli Strains
About 18% of urinary tract infections (UTIs) are attributable to zoonotic extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli (ExPEC) strains.
According to a study, researchers estimated the proportion of UTIs attributable to zoonotic ExPEC across eight Southern California counties.
- Coli isolates were collected from retail meat and patients with UTI.
- A Bayesian latent class model was used to infer the host origin of each isolate.
The researchers found that zoonotic ExPEC strains accounted for 18% of UTIs, with a higher proportion in high-poverty neighborhoods (21.5%) and among women (19%).
About 18 percent of urinary tract infections are attributable to zoonotic extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli strains.
