Escherichia. coli (E. coli) is a bacteria that normally lives in the intestines of humans and animals. Although most strains of these bacteria are harmless, several are known to produce toxins that can cause diarrhea. One particular one is E. coli 0157:H7 that can cause severe diarrhea and kidney damage.

This bacteria is acquired by eating food containing the bacteria. The bacteria lives in the intestines of some healthy cattle, and the contamination of meat may occur in the slaughtering process. Eating meat that is rare or inadequately cooked is the most common way of getting the infection. Infection can also occur after consuming foods such as lettuce, alfalfa sprouts, salami, and unpasteurized milk, juice or cider. Person-to-person transmission can occur if infected people do not wash their hands after using the bathroom. All ages can become infected with E. coli 0157:H7, but children and the elderly are more likely to develop serious complications. Most identified cases develop severe diarrhea and abdominal cramps and blood is often seen in the stool. Usually little or no fever is present.

In some patients, particularly children under five years of age, the infection can cause a complication called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). A prolonged hospital stay is often required. Fortunately, most people with HUS recover completely, but it can be fatal. The nature of this food borne pathogen, including, food protection, mechanism of infection, disease symptoms, and treatments will be highlighted in this presentation.
