Escherichia coli does not cure disease, and some Escherichia coli are also pathogenic, being conditionally pathogenic.
Escherichia coli, also known as E. coli, is a gram-negative bacillus that is a parasitic flora in the intestinal tract of animals, but a small number of them can cause disease under certain conditions.
Escherichia coli can cause gastrointestinal infections with symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, and in severe cases, systemic toxicity. It can also cause extra-intestinal infections such as urethritis, cystitis, pyelonephritis, vaginitis, peritonitis, pneumonia, meningitis and so on.
Escherichia coli is mainly spread through water, food, and close contact, so it is important to wash hands frequently, sterilize kitchen utensils, and not consume raw water.
In the treatment of Escherichia coli infection, antibiotics, such as levofloxacin, metronidazole, clarithromycin, etc., can be used according to the doctor’s prescription, and it is necessary to go to the regular hospital for targeted treatment after examination, and should not be self-medicated.
