E coli is the most common cause of UTI.
Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a bacteria found in the large intestine of warmblooded animals. Most E. coli strains are harmless, but some can cause serious food poisoning in humans.
E. coli is not a disease at all, it is a species of bacteria. E. coli can be found as part of the normal microflora in the human gastrointestinal tract, as most strains are harmless. There are some strains (eg: E. coli 01H57) that are pathogenic and can cause enteritis.
Yes, a UTI (urinary tract infection) is typically caused by bacterial infection. The most common bacteria responsible for UTIs is Escherichia coli (E. coli), which is usually found in the digestive system. In some cases, UTIs can also be caused by other bacteria such as Klebsiella or Proteus.
Escherichia coli
Bacteria are the most common cause - most frequently Eschericia coli. UTI's in females are generally caused by normal flora from the gastrointestinal tract (due to the close proximity). Other frequently encountered organims include the bacteria Proteus, Staphylococci. Hospital acquired organisms include the bacteria Pseudomonas, Klebsiella and Enterobacter. The yeast Candida may cause a UTI - but rarely. Even less common are parasites and viruses. In summary: Bacteria are most often involved; E. coli the most common bacteria.
There are a number of bacteria that can cause UTIs. E. coli is the most common cause.
E coli is a major cause of urinary tract infections. Having e coli in your urine is not dangerous, however.

Could be other sources but anal/ fecal contact/sex would provide the e-coli source to the Urinary Tract.
The recommended treatment for a UTI caused by E. coli using cephalexin is to take the antibiotic as prescribed by a healthcare provider for the full course of treatment to effectively kill the bacteria and alleviate symptoms.
E coli is a type of bacteria that is present in the human gut and can cause food poisoning. E coli is prokaryotic and not eukaryotic.
E. coli can cause a variety of human infections, such as infections in your bladder (a UTI), or infections in your intestines. E coli has different ways it gets around the body's immune system to cause infections.
In that case, I would suspect that the culture ordered from the lab repors only >10^5 CFU, and a lower level of E coli was present in the urinary tract -- enough to cause a positive nitrate, but not enough to be reported as "UTI" on the culture.
E. coli is a type of bacteria that can cause an upset stomach. Acetoin is a light yellow to green yellow liquid. No, E. coli does not produce acetoin.
i think cause it has E-coli

No. They are two different bacteria.
