The strain of E coli that causes the most serious illness in humans is a strain called E coli O157:H7, sometimes called E coli O157. The people most at risk for infection with this strain of E coli are the very young and very old, but anyone can become ill if infected. Rates of E coli O157 have gone down in recent decades; there are around 70 000 infections with E coli O157 each year in the United States. The most important risk factor for this illness is bloody diarrhea.
