E. coli
E. coli O157:NM is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and in the most severe cases, kidney failure. The kidney failure caused by E. coli O157:NM is associated with hemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS. The very young, seniors and persons with weak immune systems are the most susceptible to E. coli illness.
