No. When E. Coli has affected a kidney it is called pyelonephritis, ie. an infection of the kidney. By far and away, the most common cause of pyelonephritis is an ascending urinary tract infection (UTI). People (more common in women) often get UTIs from the bacteria e. coli. If the infection is inadequately treated, unnoticed, or if the patient has other underlying conditions like vesico-ureteral reflux, then they can be more apt to develop pyelonephritis.
E. Coli is a ubiquitous bacteria and causes an incredibly high number of UTIs, some of these then go on to become pyelonephritis. The link between rat poison and e. coli does not make sense to me. If rat poison was going to cause health problems it would most likely be manifested in episodes of unexplained bleeding. You might have experienced bleeding in your urine but that would have been caused by the e coli infection in the kidney.
