How does a child get e. coli into her urine?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: E. Coli is in our bowel and in girls the urethra (place the pee from) is short and right near the rectum so when wiping they can introduce the bacteria if they wipe wrong and just because of the nearness. In boys it is different and unusual because their urethra is longer.
