What Is E.Coli Bacteria

Escherichia coli (commonly abbreviated as E. coli) is one of the main species of gram negative bacteria.
The bacteria discovered by a man named Theodor Escherich can be found in the human colon.
And most E. coli are harmless, but some like E. Coli type O157: H7, can cause bad things like serious food poisoning in humans. So it can cause diarrhea.
One source of this bacteria that is like the meat that has not been cooked, for example hamburger meat that has not been cooked.
E Coli bacteria
E. coli is widely used in genetic engineering technology, commonly used as a vector to insert specific genes that are desirable to develop.
E. coli was chosen because its growth is very fast and easy in handling.
E. coli is a bacterium commonly found in healthy human intestines. E. coli bacteria are mostly harmless. Even so, some of them can cause food poisoning and serious infections.
Escherichia coli (E. Coli) refers to a group of bacteria, commonly found in food and water.
The disease caused by E. coli bacteria arises when releasing a poison called "Shiga", which then makes the patient sick.

In analized from sltrib.com case of death due to E.Coli bacteri occurring in Utah, 2 children died as a result of this incident, David Heaton, of the Southwest Utah Public Health Department, confirmed Saturday that his organization is investigating the outbreak, though the exact number of Cases was not available.

"All the water testing we've done in Hildale has been clean," Heaton said, "so we're focusing all our efforts on contaminated food or exposure to animals."

It is also possible that E. coli can be transmitted through humans, E. coli itself is present in a healthy human intestine, so apabaila there are people who have defecated without washing his hands and he shook hands with the second person then there is a possibility that the second person can be infected Bacteria

 

The following symptoms are felt due to E. coli infected body:

     Diarrhea (in some rare cases, can cause bloody).
     The stomach cramps.
     Loss of appetite.
     The feeling of nausea can even vomit up.
     Body feels fever.
     Excessive fatigue.


These symptoms often last about 1 week if there is no complication problem, in some E. coli infections can present a very dangerous risk.

Generally, people affected by E. coli infection are at risk of complications, more often in children. Because children are more difficult to survive the problem of losing lots of fluids and blood (due to vomiting and diarrhea experienced).

 

 

And make sure your children do not buy food from the outside as carnivorous meat can also stockpile the bacteria in food, eg sausage / meat from hamburger, But many people think that raw meat is the biggest cause of E. Coli, and this is not true.
There are some things to do in the prevention action E.Coli enter your body, one of which is in the example above that is,
- Wash hands after bowel movements- Wash hands after holding the animals- People affected by diarrhea should not be allowed to provide food-Clean all fruits and vegetables before eating and for uncooked raw meat is a good idea if raw meat is placed in a dish, washed dishes before re-use-Do not drink Raw milk
Although E. coli infection tends to attack children it's good that adults take care, There are some conditions where when anak2 or you suffer from E. coli ie
- Diarrhea that does not heal-The fever body during diarrhea-The Thirst of Thirst despite the fluid condition is fulfilled- Sense of nausea that does not go away for 12 hours- And when defecation, his stools are mixed with pus / blood
This case is more often happen to children and even bacteria is not too dangerous, but for adults do not be careless about this
