UPI reports an E. coli strain found in retail chicken and turkey products may be passed on to humans.
Not only that, a study shows the strain can cause a range of infections, including in the urinary tract.
This is the first connection reported between poultry products and people.
More than 80 percent of urinary tract infections are caused by E. coli.
However, only a few strains are responsible for the serious infections of the kidneys or blood.
