Eating undercooked beef could raise your risk of a drug resistant urinary tract infection report scientists at UC Berkeley and Pen State U. They found that a strain of bacteria in cows matched a strain isolated from women with UTI. E. coli from cows' intestinal tracts can contaminate beef during slaughtering. If you eat contaminated beef that has not been properly cooked, the bacteria can end up in your digestive tract, leading to a UTI. MAKE SURE YOUR BEEF IS WELL COOKED.
