ANS #2: Any food that becomes contaminated with feces can contain e. coli. The bacterium lives in the intestines and is spread by non-hygienic food handling. In cuts of meat that are infected, the bacterium is on the surface and is killed by heat. A steak that is not cooked all the way through is unlikely to be contaminated. Hamburger, on the other hand, has the e. coli potentially mixed throughout. Vegetables can be contaminated by being sprayed with contaminated irrigation water. =========== All animal meat with the exception of sea food, has E Coli, such as pork, lamb, chicken, beef, etc. When you cook steak you are to cook it all the way through to kill of the E Coli. Plus cooking the meat through kills off the worms that live in the meat, yeah there are worms in there, if you eat the meat raw that's how you get E Coli or tape worms. Animals like wolves, lions and the like don't get E Coli from eatting raw meat because they have special enzyms or bacteria in their siliva that break down the E Coli and stop it from affecting them. A side from the E Coli, chimpanses don't get aids they have an anti-body (also a bacteria) that breaks down the disease so it doesn't affect them. The idel thing would be for us humans to take this anti-body and use it in humans to cure aids but the thing is that the chimpanses have other diseases that would cause us harm so we can't take the animals blood and mix it with ours. But it's an interesting consept to think about. something.
E. coli isn't actually "caused" by food. Escherichia coli is a bacterium that can contaminate food. It is when you consume any food that is contaminated with E. coli that you develop an infection. The infection is caused by E. coli, not called E. coli.

How does e coli with limited food supply respond?
The lac operon is switched on so the E. coli can use it as a food source.
Is e coli prokaryotic or eukaryotic?
E coli is a type of bacteria that is present in the human gut and can cause food poisoning. E coli is prokaryotic and not eukaryotic.
What is a type of food borne illness Gout or Heart disease or Influenza or E coli?
e-coli

E. Coli infection
Which of the following is a type of food-borne illness Gout or Heart disease or Influenza or E. coli?
E. coli
Is e coli contagious?
Yes, E. coli can be contagious through person-to-person contact or by consuming contaminated food or water. Practicing good hygiene, such as washing hands thoroughly and cooking food properly, can help prevent the spread of E. coli.
