Overview
Risk factors in the development of E. coli enteritis include recent ingestion of uncooked or poorly handled vegetables, meat / poultry, raw milk, or poorly stored foods that require refrigerators (e.g. mayonnaise), drinking from untreated water, recent travel to developing countries, exposure to infected individuals, daycare, and healthcare settings, and recent sexual history of receptive anal or oral-anal contact.
