UTIs Attributable to Zoonotic E coli Strains
About 18% of urinary tract infections are attributable to zoonotic extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli 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.
- Sequencing a representative subset of 5,728 isolates was conducted.
- The host origin of each isolate was inferred using a Bayesian latent class model.
The researchers found that zoonotic ExPEC strains accounted for 18% of UTIs, increasing to 21.5% in high-poverty neighborhoods.
The zoonotic proportion was higher among women than men.
About 18 percent of urinary tract infections are attributable to zoonotic extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli strains.
Author's summary: UTIs caused by zoonotic E coli strains affect 18% of cases.
