Can any pathogens travel on urine?!


Question: And if so, what are some of them?


Answers: And if so, what are some of them?

Normally urine is sterile, but if you have a urine infection (a UTI) its is loaded with bacteria. Most of the bacteria are those from the GI tract. The most common one is E.Coli. Microorganisms called Chlamydia and Mycoplasma may also cause UTIs in both men and women, but these infections tend to remain limited to the urethra and reproductive system. Unlike E. coli, Chlamydia and Mycoplasma may be sexually transmitted, and infections require treatment of both partners. Gonorrhea can also be found in the urine. Also, yeast (candida) can be in the urine. In some cases very unusual bacteria can cause UTIs.

Urine can contain pathogens such as Salmonella and E coli. And the urine can be containenated with fecal matter that could as cause it to contain pathogens like Hepatitis A and Streptococcus.

These are just a few... Hope this helped...
