E. coli can cause various infections, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), gastroenteritis, and, in severe cases, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Most E. coli infections, especially those caused by the O157:H7 strain, are not treated with antibiotics, as they can worsen the condition and increase the risk of complications. Supportive care, such as hydration, is typically recommended instead. However, UTIs caused by E. coli may be treated with antibiotics, depending on the strain and susceptibility.

What can bacteria heal?

First, bacteria is already in your body. For example, you have your own ecoli. Second, bacteria is on your skin. It doesn't really serve a purpose there. But....if you have an infection, such as sinus infection, or urinary tract infection, the bacteria in your antibiotic, such as penicillin kills the infection. BUT!! For women, this may cause a yeast infection because the normal bacteria in that area is killed by the medication. Thus, you need a different kind of medication, nonbacterial for that.
