How is Escherichia coli gastroenteritis acquired?

The occurrence of E. coli gastroenteritis is related to food contamination, water contamination, contact transmission and other factors. The correlation analysis is as follows:

1. Food contamination

Eating contaminated food is a common route of infection, especially not fully heated meat, poultry, raw meat or other foods contaminated by feces.

2. Water contamination

Drinking contaminated water or using contaminated water to wash food and tableware may also lead to infection.

3. Contact transmission

Direct contact with contaminated objects or surfaces, such as contaminated kitchen utensils, unclean hands or animal feces, will increase the incidence of the disease.
