Answer
Angela. All I know is that E. coli is part of your body's normal body flora (meaning that it is normally found in your body, esp. the gastroentestinal tract, but can cuase illness with overgrowth or spreading to other areas). Here is a site with a plethora of information on E. coli. I'm sorry that I am unable to fully answer your question.
