In: Microbiology [Edit categories]

Answer:

Urine actually has little bacteria to begin with. A lot of the filtrate are salts, water and food pigments that pass through the blood stream. If the person is sick, there could be some of the bacteria that caused the illness in urine. Urine accumulates bacteria very fast. Urine is more or less sterile as it leaves the body. The most common pathogen in the urine is E. coli.
