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.
Best Answer: Rebecca- A normal body contains millions( really, it's billions) of E. coli in the digestive track with the highest concentration at the end in the stool (feces) of the large intestine. If the E.coli stays inside the digestive tract, it is harmless. Thus, if there is any break (Opening) in the digestive track wall, the bacteria can invade the abdomen, blood stream, and rest of the body. This could happen with a perforated stomach ulcer, ruptured appendix, diverticulitis of the colon, or even a rectal abscess.
