E. coli is a strain of bacteria that, while most of the time is harmless, can cause intestinal disorders, including gastroenteritis, urinary tract infections, and, in some rare cases, bowel necrosis. Symptoms usually include nausea, diarrhea, cramps and headaches. Treatment with antibiotics is often used to combat this disease.
