E. coli gynecological infections

*Escherichia coli* gynecological infections encompass localized or ascending bacterial infections of the female reproductive tract caused by the Gram-negative bacillus *E. coli* Affecting the female reproductive system, these conditions typically arise when pathogenic or gastrointestinal commensal strains colonize the vaginal introitus and ascend through the endocervix, often occurring in polymicrobial settings or secondary to disruption of the normal protective vaginal microbiome
