What organ does ecoli affect?

E. coli primarily affects the intestines, where it can cause gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting. Certain strains, particularly Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC), can lead to more severe complications, including hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which affects the kidneys. In severe cases, it can lead to kidney failure if not treated promptly.
