- Zoonotic E. coli made up 18% of community UTIs; 21.5% in high-poverty areas.
- Women’s zoonotic share was 19.7% vs 8.5% in men; affected men were older
- Dataset: 23,483 urine and 12,616 meat samples; 5,728 genomes sequenced (2017–2021).
- Zoonotic clinical isolates’ resistance profiles resembled meat isolates.
- Clinical and meat isolates showed distinct lineage patterns.
- Host origin used a Bayesian model; key limits included no meat-type assignment and no beef genomes in training.
