- Researchers from George Washington University collected E. coli isolates from retail meat and patients with UTI.
- A total of 5,728 isolates were sequenced to infer the host origin of each isolate.
- The study found that zoonotic ExPEC strains accounted for 18% of UTIs, with a higher proportion in high-poverty neighborhoods (21.5%).
- Women were more likely to be affected by zoonotic ExPEC strains than men (19%).
