	Escherichia - MicrobeWiki
		Escherichia coli has become a model organism for studying many of life's essential processes partly due to its rapid growth rate and simple nutritional requirements.
		coli typically colonizes an infant's gastrointestinal tract within hours of life and is the predominant facultative anaerobe in the human colonic flora.
		coli is generally confined to the intestinal lumen but may cause infection in a debilitated or immunosuppressed host or when the bacteria is introduced to other tissues.

	E. coli
		Escherichia coli is a bacterium that is a common — but certainly not the most abundant — inhabitant of the human intestine.
		Drinking water is tested for the presence of E. coli and related bacteria not because these bacteria are dangerous but because they are an indication of contamination by sewage, and sewage may contain organisms (e.g., Salmonella, hepatitis A virus) that are dangerous.
		However, E. coli cannot attach sugars to proteins so proteins requiring such sugars (e.g., glycoprotein hormones and clotting factors) have to be made in the cells of eukaryotes such as yeast cells and mammalian cells grown in cell culture.

	E. coli O157:H7 - Escherichia coli O157:H7
		A 2003 study on the prevalence of E. coli O157:H7 in livestock at 29 county and 3 large state agricultural fairs in the United States found that E. coli O157:H7 could be isolated from 13.8% of beef cattle, 5.9% of dairy cattle, 3.6% of pigs, 5.2% of sheep, and 2.8% of goats.
		The primary mode of transmission of E. coli at agricultural fairs, petting zoos, and farm visits was previously thought to be fecal-oral – that is, by ingestion of bacteria-laden feces via contaminated food or water, or transfer by hand to mouth following contact with contaminated surfaces or animals.
		Conclusions reached by investigators in several recent fair-associated outbreaks of E. coli O157:H7 suggest that ingestion or perhaps even inhalation of contaminated dust particles may be an additional cause of E. coli infection among fairgoers and visitors to petting zoos.

		E coli pneumonia may also result from microaspiration of upper airway secretions that have been previously colonized with this organism in severely ill patients; hence, it is a cause of nosocomial pneumonia.
		E coli bacteremia precedes pneumonia and is usually due to another focus of E coli infection in the urinary or GI tract.
		E coli causes 12-50% of nosocomial infections, and E coli causes 4% of diarrheal disease.

	Symptoms of E. coli O157:H7 (Site not responding. Last check: )
		After someone ingests a sufficient quantity of E. coli O157:H7, the bacteria travels through the stomach and small intestine, and then attaches itself to the inside surface of the large intestine and causes inflammation of the intestinal wall.
		Hemorrhagic colitis, the first E. coli symptom, is characterized by the sudden onset of abdominal pain and severe cramps, followed within 24 hours by diarrhea.
		The incubation period for E. coli O157:H7 infection (i.e., the period from ingestion of the bacteria to the start of symptoms) is typically 3 to 9 days, although shorter and longer periods are not that unusual.
