About a week ago in my biology lab we were purifying plasmids from E.coli bacteria. Now since I woke up this morning, every time I pee I get a sharp pain in my bladder area that lasts for 10-15 mins after. Is it possible that I contracted an infection from the E.coli in my biology lab (since UTI is caused by E.coli)? During the lab I wore gloves but a bit of it dripped onto my papers which I touched afterwards.
Can you get a urinary tract infection from working with E.coli bacteria in a lab?
