E. coli is a type of bacteria that normally live in the intestines of people and animals. However, some types of E. coli, particularly E. coli 0157:H7, can cause intestinal infection.Symptoms of intestinal infection include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever.More severe cases can lead to bloody diarrhea, dehydration, or kidney failure.People with weakened immune systems, young children, and the elderly are at increased risk for developing these complications.ymptoms of intestinal infection include diarrhea, abdominal pain, and fever.

For E. coli in molecular biology, see Escherichia coli (molecular biology) . Escherichia coli (/ËÉÊÉ¨ËrÉªkiÉ ËkoÊlaÉª/ ; also known as E. coli) is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms (endotherms).he genome sequence of the type strain of E. coli has been added to this collection not before 2014. Comparison of these sequences shows a remarkable amount of diversity; only about 20% of each genome represents sequences present in every one of the isolates, while around 80% of each genome can vary among isolates.
