Bad E.coli (a particular strain or type) can enter the body in contaminated food, especially uncooked or inadequately cooked meat. Another way E. coli can sneak in is by contamination from the anus to the nearby urethra, into the bladder to cause a urinary tract infection (UTI), up to the kidneys and then into the blood stream.
