We would never hear the bacterium E. coli, the bacteria E. coli is a rod-shaped bacterium with a length of about 2 micrometer and 0.5 micrometer diameter. E. cell volume coli ranged 0.6-0.7 cubic micrometer. Bacteria are commonly live in the range of 20-40 degrees C, optimum at 37 degrees.
A study published in the British Medical Journal found that people who consume contaminated water E. coli have an increased risk of developing high blood pressure, kidney problems and heart disease later in life.
The team of researchers from the Lawson Health Research Institute and The University of Western Ontario assessing the risk for high blood pressure, kidney disease and cardiovascular disease also occurs in 8 years since having gastroenteritis (digestive problems) from drinking water contaminated coli bacteria.
Approximately 54 percent of participants experienced acute gastroenteritis and some of them need medical attention. Given the participants who experienced acute gastroenteritis risk was 1.3 times more likely to have hypertension, 3.4 times more likely to develop renal impairment and 2.1 times more likely to experience cardiovascular disease such as heart attack or stroke.
Dr. Clark who is also a nephrologist at the London Health Sciences Centre said the importance of the community to ensure food and water consumed free of E.coli infection.
