Can you get a severe bladder infection from E coli?

Absolutely! It's the #1 cause.

Yes, lots of urinary tract infections are due to E. coli but antibiotics can clear it up. If you think you have a UTI, go see a doc, they can send it off for culture to find out just what kind of bacteria is causing the infection.

e coli causes more UTI's than any other bug...it is common in the bowel,sooooooooo,if ya wipe yourself the wrong way,ie,back to front,ya just contaminated the area,and since the urethra in women is short,the bugs simply move right in and set up home in ya bladder.......so,wipe from front to back and problem avoided,wow.........

E. coli is the #1 cause of UTI, but it is treated easily.
