The harm of Escherichia coli to human body
1. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli, causing watery or egg drop-like stools in infants and young children;
2. Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, most patients have no obvious abdominal pain, and discharge watery stools more than ten times a day;
3. Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli, causing fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, mucus and blood in the stool;
4. Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli, the patient has watery stool in the early stage, and then bloody stool;
5. Intestinal-aggregating Escherichia coli is related to intractable diarrhea in children.
Escherichia coli are mainly epiphytes in the intestines of humans or animals, and most of them will not cause harm to the body, but can inhibit the reproduction of intestinal pathogens and other pathogens. Certain types of E. coli can cause diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis and other symptoms, and are collectively referred to as pathogenic E. coli.
