Some providers will prescribe for a patient they know without the urine sample, even over the telephone, depending on the clinical situation. Most prefer to take a history and brief exam to make sure additional testing (e.g. for sexually transissible infections) isnt' needed.

How did you get e coli in your urine?
Urine is supposed to be sterile. When any type of bacteria is found in a urine sample, it is indicative of a urinary tract infection (UTI). E. coli is a colliform that is naturally found in our digestive tract, particularly the large intestine. Normally there are not enough bacteria present to cause harm (the bacteria will not become pathogenic and produce thair toxin until enough are present, which happens when we eat something contaminated with them). If E. coli are present in the urine, this could indicate that somehow the bladder has become infected with something from the colon.This is not an official diagnosis by any means, merely an observation. Professional advice should be sought for a true diagnosis and treatment.
