Abstract Human urine specimens were found to be strong attractants for the most common urinary tract pathogen, Escherichia coli, in an in vitro chemotaxis assay. This suggested that bacterial chemotaxis toward urine may be a virulence factor in urinary tract infection (UTI). If so, inhibition of urine taxis could offer a novel approach to prevent these infections.
