While most strains of common intestinal bacteria of the E. coli species are harmless, some strains are highly pathogenic. STEC is a major cause of bacterial enteric infections in the United States.

Illness may be complicated by hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP); asymptomatic infections also may occur and the organism may cause extraintestinal infections." 1
