E. Coli infection
Yes, you can survive E. coli infection if promptly and effectively treated.
E. coli is the bacteria around your anus. It can move into the bladder from there, through the urethra.
Chlorine in water disrupts the cell membrane and enzymes of E. coli, leading to cell death. It effectively prevents E. coli bacteria from reproducing and causing infection.
Yes, E. coli infection can be treated and survived with proper medical treatment and care. Antibiotics and supportive care are typically used to manage symptoms and help the body fight off the infection. It is important to seek medical attention promptly if you suspect you have an E. coli infection.
Yes - dogs normally have E. coli bacteria in their intestines (as do most mammals), so if you are exposed to a dog's feces you can potentially develop an E. coli infection yourself.
Dysentery
Yes, Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a major cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs), responsible for about 80-90% of cases. E. coli can enter the urinary tract through the urethra and multiply in the bladder, leading to infection.

I found it under Infection in the ICD-9 index called, Escherichia coli, 041.49.
E. coli is the most common pathogen encountered in urinary tract infection. Invasive strains of E. coli causes bacillary dysentery.
