What is E. coli, what does it cause, and what are the symptoms?

According to the FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), E. coli is a bacterium that usually causes severe gastrointestinal complications and problems. Symptoms range from diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting; in extreme cases, patients may suffer from hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), a condition that leads to kidney failure.

Young children and the elderly are more vulnerable to severe infections.

Symptoms usually appear 3 to 4 days after ingesting the bacteria; healthy adults usually recover within the first 7 days of infection.
