Hello,
Welcome to healthcaremagic.com!
I really appreciate your concern. E coli are abundantly present in human intestines. They are normal flora of intestine and colon. E coli can lead to UTI. You haven't mentioned about fro where the sample for culture was done. I can guide you further if you mention it.
Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.
Thank you.
Best Regards.
