ESCHERICHIA COLI (E. Coli)

E. coli (Escherichia coli), is a bacteria infection that lives in human and animal intestines.

An E. coli infection is a sickness you get from the E.coli bacteria. The name Escherichia is named after Theodor Escherich, the Man who discovered the infection.

CAUSES OF ESCHERICHIA COLI (E. Coli)
1. Eating contaminated foods:
This includes undercooked meat and raw fruits and veggies that aren’t washed well enough.

2. Drinking unpasteurized beverages:
Not going through a heat-treatment process(pasteurization) that kills harmful bacteria (like E. coli and Salmonella) in foods like milk, cider or juice (and foods made from them, like cheese or ice cream).

3. Drinking contaminated water:
E. coli in p**p from animals and people can contaminate natural water sources (like lakes, streams and rivers), swimming pools and drinking water that isn’t sanitized.

4. Touching p**p or contaminated surfaces:
You can get infected p**p on your hands from changing diapers, wiping after a bowel movement of humans, pets and zoo or farm animals

5. Not wiping properly after going to the bathroom:
This can move E. coli from your p**p to your urinary tract, causing a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).

6. Babies sometimes get E. coli infections during delivery process (Birth)

7. Sharing objects or surfaces with someone with an E. coli infection. You can swallow E. coli when it transfers from your hands to your mouth.

TYPES OF INFECTIONS ESCHERICHIA COLI (E. Coli) CAN LEAD TO
1.Uncomplicated urinary tract infections
2. Complicated or severe urinary tract infections
3. Gastrointestinal infections (Diarrhoea)
4. Bloodstream infections (Sepsis)
5. Prostatitis (prostate infection).
6. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID).
7. Gallbladder infection (cholecystitis).
8. Wound infections.
9. Pneumonia (rare).
10. Meningitis (rare).

SYMPTOMS OF ESCHERICHIA COLI (E. Coli)
1. Bloody and Watery p**p
2. Stomach pains and cramps.
3. Loss of appetite.
4. High fever.
5. Abdominal pain
6. Pelvic pain.
7. Painful Urination
8. An urgent need to p*e frequently.
9. Cloudy and foul-smelling p*e.
10. Chills (Goosebumps)
11. Vomiting
12. Weakness
13. Confusion
14. Discharge

PREVENTION OF ESCHERICHIA COLI (E. Coli)
1. Wash your hands with soap and water before and after cooking and after handling raw meat.

2. Wash your hands with Soap and water after using the restroom, changing diapers or contact with animals

3. Don’t drink unpasteurized milk or ciders.

4. Rinse all raw fruits and vegetables under running water before eating them.

5. Don’t defrost frozen meat unwrapped on the counter. Keep frozen meat in a separate plastic bag when unfreezing.

6. Don’t rinse meat before cooking. Just cook at a high temperature to kill the bacteria. Because, washing the meat could spread bacteria to nearby surfaces, utensils and other food.

7. Use a ceramic cutting board to cut raw meat. Wooden cutting boards are harder to clean completely, leaving bacteria behind.

8. Use different surfaces for preparing different types of food. Surfaces like cutting boards can spread bacteria. If you don’t have different cutting boards, wash surfaces thoroughly with soap and hot water after you’ve worked with raw meat and before putting another type of food such as a raw vegetable on it.

9. Cook all meat to a safe temperature before eating. Don’t put cooked meat on a plate that has raw meat on it.

10. Refrigerate leftovers right away

PEOPLE AT RISK OF ESCHERICHIA COLI (E. Coli) INFECTION
1. Newborns and young children.
2. People over the age of 65yrs.
3. People who have weakened immune systems such as HIV or cancer patients.
4. People with diabetes.
5. People with ulcerative colitis: Simply explained as a chronic condition where the colon and re**um (large intestine) become inflamed.

TREATMENT OF ESCHERICHIA COLI (E. Coli)
Always do culture and sensitivity tests before treatment.
Treatment of Escherichia coli (E. coli) are;

1.Nitrofurantoin 100 mg orally twice daily for 5–7 days

2. Fosfomycin powder or capsule 3 g single dose (Safe in pregnancy)

3. Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole 960 mg (DS) twice daily for 3–5 days.
