The data from this study helped shape another piece of the puzzle by looking at the physiological effects of a single Taser activation in human subjects,â said study director Gary Vilke, M.D., professor of clinical medicine and director of Clinical Research for Emergency Medicine at UC San Diego.
Definition. Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria normally live in the intestines of healthy people and animals. Most varieties of E. coli are harmless or cause relatively brief diarrhea. But a few particularly nasty strains, such as E. coli O157:H7, can cause severe abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea and vomiting. You may be exposed to E. coli from contaminated water or food â especially raw vegetables and undercooked ground beef.
It is usually kept in check by other normal bacteria. When a person takes an antibiotic, some of the normal bacteria die and C. difficile bacteria can multiply. When C. difficile bacteria multiply, some are capable of producing toxins that cause diarrhea or inflammation of the colon.: C. difficile is a bacterium that is found in the intestines. It most commonly causes mild to moderate diarrhea. Sometimes it can cause more serious infection of the intestines, called colitis.
