Abstract
In vivo evidence of a connection between urinary tract infections (UTI) and foods is lacking. The virulence of 13 Escherichia coli B2 isolates from healthy animals and fresh meat was investigated in a murine model of ascending UTI. All isolates produced positive bladder cultures (10 2 to 10 7 CFU), and nine isolates produced positive kidney cultures (10 2 to 10 5 CFU).Keywords
