Can you get E-Coli in the bladder?

Answer by  gman45 (17)

Yes. The term Bladder infection is a widely used term that encompasses many different viruses or infections. But, most bladder infections are actually derived from the E.Coli germ laying dormant in the bladder. Women seem to be more suceptible to this virus due to the proximity of their body parts to the areas that typically carry the E.Coli germ.

It is very possible to get E-Coli in the bladder. E-coli in the bladder is often a cause for a urinary tract infection. It usually gets to the bladder from the digestive system.

Answer by  Margareta (62)

E. Coli is a common cause of recurrent bladder infections in women. Bladder infections are more common in women than men, and in many cases, E. Coli is the source.

Answer by  Linda39 (18)

Yes you can. It is estimated that as many as seventy-five percent of women who suffer from recurrent bladder infections are colonized with E. coli. e. coli can "climb" into the bladder and cause infection.

Answer by  HH (404)

Yes. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is one of the most common causes of urinary tract infections including bladder infection. Women are more likely to be infected due to a shorter urinary tract. Source of the infection is usually the large bowel E. coli population by cross contamination.

No it's only a disease that takes place in the intestine but other bacteria may pass through your bladder for excretion.
