E. coli can enter the knee joint through several pathways, most commonly via a direct infection following an injury or surgery that exposes the joint to bacteria. It can also spread from nearby infected tissues or bones through the bloodstream, a condition known as septic Arthritis. Additionally, in rare cases, E. coli can enter the knee during intra-articular injections or through contaminated medical equipment.
