No, it is not. It depends on how much but it means an infection in any case.
It can, most certainly. If the E. coli was not put there after the urine was added to the sample cup, it indicates that you have a urinary tract infection. It also means you should be advised to wipe front to back ONLY, or that you should not allow for anything to be inserted into your anus and then your vagina without cleaning whatever you are inserting thoroughly.
E coli is a major cause of urinary tract infections. Having e coli in your urine is not dangerous, however.

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.
You do not know if a given sample of hamburger meat contains e coli, but you do know that if e coli is present, you can kill it by proper cooking; if the meat is undercooked, it may have e coli which will survive the inadequate cooking process and may cause food poisoning.
E Coli is dangerous in the urine if it is not treated. Left untreated, it can result in sickness and even death.
The organism likely to be found in a urine culture that is a Gram-negative rod and a lactose fermenter is Escherichia coli. E. coli is a common cause of urinary tract infections and is characterized by these microbiological properties.
One can effectively test for E. coli in a sample by using methods such as culture-based techniques, molecular methods like PCR, or immunological assays like ELISA. These methods help detect the presence of E. coli by targeting specific genetic markers or proteins unique to the bacteria.
One can detect E. coli in a sample by using methods such as culturing the bacteria on agar plates, performing polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests, or using immunological techniques like enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Escherichia coli
because e coli will react with toluene to give by-products (I guess?)
First, you would introduce the chemicals from toilet bowl cleaners. Since urine does not naturally contain such chemicals, your trick would likely be discovered immediately. Second, your attempt to dilute urine with water would not mask illegal drugs. Even if you used water from the sink, you would not mask the drugs. Plus, with toilet bowl water, you risk introducing extreme numbers of bacteria, like E Coli, from feces. E Coli should never be in urine (except during an E Coli urinary infection), so again, you will not outwit the test.Perhaps it's time to quit using and be honest with yourself and your doctor, so you can get clean for real.
