What is the harm of Escherichia coli to the human body?

Escherichia coli generally refers to Escherichia coli. Escherichia coli itself is not harmful to the human body, but when the body resistance decreases or because of other factors leading to its invasion of extraintestinal organs and tissues, it may cause harm, such as urinary system infection, gastroenteritis, sepsis and other diseases.

1. Urinary system infection

When Escherichia coli enters the urinary system, it may induce urinary system infection, such as pyelonephritis, urethritis, cystitis and other diseases.

2. Gastroenteritis

When it enters the gastrointestinal tract, it can cause gastroenteritis, causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms.

3. Septicemia

When Escherichia coli invades the blood, it may lead to sepsis, causing high fever, chills and shock, and other symptoms, which can be fatal in severe cases.
