herichia Coli is the full name for the commonly heard E.coli bacteria. This type of bacteria is found in the intestines of humans and the intestines of animals as well. Hear the word 'bacteria' and many peoples first thoughts are bad but the E.coli being present in a body is said to be good and beneficial for people and animals to stay healthy and aids their development. Scientists have found over 100 different strains of E.coli and it is just a small amount of these strains that can make you unwell and are potentially dangerous.
Dangerous strains can produce toxins which are found in the faeces of cattle,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pigs, sheep and other animals and if humans come into contact with this they can suffer illness such as diarrhoea, kidney damage and in the worst instances possibly death. As with a lot of harmful bacteria, the most likely people to be at risk are children, old people and people who are ill. This is because the bodies immune system naturally provides antibacterial protection towards E.coli. Of you are ill,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are elderly or are young, your immune system may not be as strong as a healthy person and that is when E.coli can be dangerous. As well as faeces, dangerous E.coli can also be contained in slaughtered cattle and if this is then undercooked before eating it can pass on the bacteria making the person who consumed it ill.
Because animal manure is used in the farming industry, if it is infected with E.coli this can spread to the crop being treated and this in turn can be passed on to people buying the crop. To stop spreading E.coli in this way,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is advisable to always wash fruit and vegetables before eating it. Antibacterial protection can also be obtained by always washing your hands and areas that are used to prepare food. You can buy kitchen wipes from any supermarket that provide a good level of antibacterial protection.
