E.Coli E. Coli is a bacterial strain that affects many people around the world each year. It comes from contaminated food and it causes intestinal and urinary infections. At first they thought it just caused digestive problems but now they have found out that it also causes urinary tract infections. The article has stated this "strain"ÃÂ of E. Coli is drug resistant which means that a typical course of antibiotics will not clear up the infection.
Recently in 3 states, California, Minnesota, and Michigan there were outbreaks among many women with an analysis of 302 cases. Many were astonished because some of the organisms were the same among the women. Urinary tract infections are common among women and 90% are caused by E.Coli.
When the strain is traced to one or more sources, many steps will be taken to prevent it from spreading. They say they still need to get a logical explanation for its cause and spread.
