A member asked:
Can someone get infected by e.coli by having sexual intercourse with his partner even if they washed with antibacterial soap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes.: E coli is a common bacterium which makes up over 90% of a bowel movement. Washing with soap is not going to eliminate all the E coli around your body. E coli infection due to intercourse is more common in women.
