1. Gastrointestinal infections: Pathogenic strains of E. coli can cause gastrointestinal infections, leading to symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) are among the types that cause gastroenteritis, often associated with contaminated food or water.

2. Urinary tract infections (UTIs): E. coli is a leading cause of UTIs, particularly in women. It can ascend from the urethra to the bladder (causing cystitis) and, in more severe cases, to the kidneys (causing pyelonephritis). UTIs caused by E. coli typically present with symptoms such as frequent urination, painful urination, and lower abdominal or back pain.

3. Foodborne illnesses: Certain strains of E. coli, such as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) including serotype O157:H7, can cause foodborne illnesses. Consumption of contaminated food or water, particularly undercooked ground beef, raw vegetables, unpasteurized milk, and contaminated water, can lead to symptoms such as severe abdominal cramps, diarrhea (often bloody), vomiting, and, in severe cases, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).

4. Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS): STEC strains of E. coli can produce toxins that damage red blood cells and cause kidney injury, leading to HUS. This condition is most commonly seen in young children and can result in acute kidney failure, anemia, and thrombocytopenia.

5. Neonatal meningitis: In rare cases, E. coli can cause meningitis in newborns, typically acquired during birth if the mother carries the bacterium in her birth canal. Neonatal meningitis caused by E. coli can be severe and life-threatening if not promptly treated with appropriate antibiotics.

6. Septicemia: In severe cases, particularly in immunocompromised individuals or those with underlying health conditions, E. coli infections can lead to bloodstream infections (septicemia), which can be life-threatening if not promptly treated with antibiotics.

• The interactions are based on data from 1000 healthy individuals using shotgun 10M reads Precision Biome, a provider in full conformity to EU regulations for health information
• The width of the lines indicates R² (the coefficient of determination)
• Green indicates positive slope
• Red indicates negative
• Interactions are not two way because incidence of each bacteria are different
