frontal-cortex: Uropathogenic E. Coli (UPEC)Scanning electron microscopy image of uropathogenic E. Coli (UPEC) bound to, and emerging from within, mouse superficial epithelial cells that line the lumenal surface of the bladder. During the course of a urinary tract infection, many of the bacteria become transiently filamentous in response to innate host defence mechanisms. Escherichia coli is a soil bacterium, and like many soil bacteria, carries out part of its life cycle in the digestive tracts of animals. There are lots of ways for E. coli to get into the urethra, but the most common is believed to be poor (external) hygiene. As you might expect, women are more susceptible than men.
