E. coli (Escherichia coli) is the name of a germ, or bacterium, that lives in the digestive tracts of humans and animals. There are many types of E. coli, and most of them are harmless. But some can cause bloody diarrhea. Some strains of E. coli bacteria may also cause severe anemia or kidney failure, which can lead to death.
Escherichia coli, more commonly known as E. coli, is a group of bacteria that populate the human (and animal) gut. E. coli is usually thought of as a good bacterium; it lives in the intestines as part of the normal gut flora.. However, some strains of E. coli can cause very serious illness. These disease-causing (virulent) strains are usually classified by the action they have on the gut; these strains include enterohemorrhagic (called EHEC), enteropathogenic (called EPEC), enteroinvasive (called EIEC), and enterotoxigenic (ETEC).
