Escherichia coli

Escherichia coli, E. coli, is a species of Detrimental Bacteria that normally resides in the human Intestinal Tract and becomes toxic when it over-proliferates or invades other areas of the body.

Digestive System

 Escherichia coli infection may be an underlying cause of Crohn’s Disease.  ^[1]

 Escherichia coli may cause Diarrhea (when Diarrhea is caused by Eschericia coli it is known medically as Colibacillosis or Enteric Colibacillosis).

 Escherichia coli may cause Gastroenteritis.

 Escherichia coli is implicated in many Intestinal infections.

Excretory System

 Escherichia coli proliferation in the Bladder may cause Cystitis.

 Escherichia coli is the most common cause of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), accounting for up to 90% of all UTIs.

Sexual System

 Escherichia coli may cause Prostatitis.  ^[2]

Skin

 Escherichia coli may cause infection of Wounds.

Alkaloids

 Berberine may suppress E. coli.  ^[3]

Amines

 Diphenylamine may kill E. coli. 

Carbohydrates

 Mannose may facilitate the eradication of E. coli from the Urinary Tract. 

Enzymes

 Bromelain may inhibit the ability of E. coli to cause Diarrhea.  ^[4]

Glycosides

 Oleuropein may inhibit E. coli.  ^[5]

 Sinigrin may inhibit the growth of E. coli. ^[6]

Microorganisms

 Bifidobacteria adolescentis may inhibit E. coli. 

 Bifidobacteria breve may inhibit E. coli.  ^[7]

 Bifidobacteria bulgaricus may inhibit the growth of E. coli. 

 Bifidobacteria bifidus may inhibit E. coli.  ^[8]

 Bifidobacteria infantis may inhibit E. coli.  ^[9]

 Bifidobacteria longum may inhibit E. coli.  ^[10]

 EpiCor (a type of Beneficial Yeast) may inhibit the growth of Escherichia coli.  ^[11]

 Lactobacillus acidophilus may inhibit the growth of E. coli.  ^[12]

 Lactobacillus acidophilus - DDS-1 strain may inhibit E. coli. 

 Lactobacillus casei may inhibit the growth of E. coli.  ^[13]
