<em>Escherichia coli</em>

La Escherichia coli es un tipo de bacteria que normalmente vive en los intestinos de los humanos y los animales sin causar ningún problema.

Pese a ello, ciertos tipos o cepas de Escherichia coli llegan a ocasionar la llamada “diarrea del viajero”, que se produce por utilización de alimentos y agua contaminada con heces de portadores de estos gérmenes.

Otros gérmenes habituales causantes de este tipo de diarreas son la Shigella, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Rotavirus y Giardia lamblia entre otros.
