E.coli is responsible for a very small portion of deaths in america every year. The E.coli bacteria usually just makes you very sick, the Reason you get sick from E.coli is because it releases a toxin called shiga. This will lead to kidney failure, diarrhea, bloody stool and urinary tract infections. The way that shiga makes you sick, is by attacking and damaging the intestines

E.coli live in an environment of about 37 degrees celsius with a neutral PH. However, since E.coli are mostly found in the intestines of warm bodied animals, they must be able to adapt to changes in its environment. The E.coli bacteria has developed a flagellum over time to help it swim away from certain environments in order to survive

E.coli is a heterotroph, just like humans. This means that E.coli have to find and "eat their food rather than automatically gain their nutrients from the sun or something. E.coli gain their nutrients from their hosts, they will undergo a process of biosynthesis to obtain carbon as their primary source of nutrients. The reason carbon is the primary nutrient of E.coli is because that is what carbon is made of (mostly)

Bacteria can only reproduce by means of cell division. Then, the bacteria will gain genetic diversity through genetic mutations. In ideal conditions, E.coli can reproduce in just 20 minutes.

Because E.coli is anaerobic, it does not require air, therefore it does not use O2. Instead E.coli respires through the process of anaerobic respiration. This uses other compounds such as no3 to gain its energy.

According to the old method of classifying bacteria, E.coli belongs to kingdom monera.  This bacteria is in a long rod shape and is about 2 um long. The bacteria is facultative anaerobic. as this is a bacteria, it is prokaryotic as it lacks cell bound organelles and a nucleus.

Yes having these non-harmful strains can lead to the arising of deadly strainsE. coli O104:H4 was the strain that caused an outbreak in the summer of 2011 in Europe, and was caused from a harmless strain of E.coli.

Escherichia coli. Lets just stick with saying E.coli

Surprisingly, not all strains of E.coli are bad, in fact we all have some strains living inside our intestines as they assist in the production of vitamin k.
