Who can get infected with E. coli?

Anyone who comes into contact with a disease-causing strain of E. coli can become infected. People who are at greatest risk are:

  • The very young (newborns and children).
  • The elderly.
  • People who have weakened immune systems (for example, those with cancer, diabetes, HIV, and women who are pregnant).
  • People who travel to certain countries.
