At least 90 people have been diagnosed with E. coli in a multistate outbreak that health officials say likely stems from onions served on McDonald's Quarter Pounders. ... and can lead to the need ...
Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) produces a toxin that acts on the intestinal lining, and is the most common cause of traveler's diarrhea. Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) can cause diarrhea outbreaks in newborn nurseries. Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAggEC) can cause acute and chronic (long-lasting) diarrhea in children.
The CDC reports that people infected with e. coli may experience severe stomach cramps, diarrhea that is usually bloody and vomiting. Symptoms tend to appear around three to four days after coming ...
