Özet
Raw milk, while nutritionally valuable, may act as a reservoir for zoonotic and antibiotic-resistant microorganisms, creating a potential pathway for foodborne urinary tract infections (FUTIs). Following ingestion, foodborne Escherichia coli may colonize the gastrointestinal tract and subsequently reach the urinary tract via the fecal–perineal–urethral route. Among foodborne pathogens, E. coli stands out as both a commensal and a versatile pathogen responsible for approximately 80% of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs). Increasing clinical and epidemiological evidence suggests that food-associated E. coli strains carrying uropathogenic traits can contribute to community-acquired UTIs, yet this link remains insufficiently characterized. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the prevalence, antibiotic resistance, and virulence gene profiles of E. coli isolates obtained from raw milk samples …
