The E. coli bacteria eat undigested nutrients in mammal large intestines. It resides in these intestines. They are essential to healthy digestion, but sometimes cause intestinal gas.

Some strains do not know when to stop and will eat the lining of those intestines too! These can cause bloody diarrhea and fatal infections!
