Does cooking E. coli contaminated food kill the bacteria?

Asked by Wiki User

It will if cooked to the proper temperature. Just cooking it 'al dente' will not be sufficient to remove the bacteria. Be certain to store it properly after being cooked.

Also, bringing the food to a high enough temperature to kill the E. coli SLOWLY will make the E. coli actually grow stronger and more able to resist the heat. So it is important to bring it to the high temperature quickly.

You should boil raw beef or chicken for a minimum of one (1) hour at 100 degrees Celsius/212 degrees Fahrenheit (at sea level) to be safe. At higher altitudes (>3500 feet or >1km above sea level) you will need to boil it longer as water boils at lower temperatures at high altitudes.

Do NOT recook or reheat meat left out at room temperature for 2 hours or longer. Throw it away.

Can PEA agar grow in E. coli?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A better way to phrase the question you are asking is "Can PEA agar grow E. coli?"

The answer is yes, but only a small amount of growth will be observed because PEA is partially inhibitory to Gram negative organisms and E. coli is Gram negative.

Will you get sick from drinking water with ecoli?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Fresh bottled water should not make a person sick. Bottled water that is exposed to excessive heat temperatures may be harmful because of the toxins from the plastic bottle released into the water. A person would not feel the symptoms immediately making them sick although long term there could be effects.

How did you get e coli in your urine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Urine is supposed to be sterile. When any type of bacteria is found in a urine sample, it is indicative of a urinary tract infection (UTI). E. coli is a colliform that is naturally found in our digestive tract, particularly the large intestine. Normally there are not enough bacteria present to cause harm (the bacteria will not become pathogenic and produce thair toxin until enough are present, which happens when we eat something contaminated with them). If E. coli are present in the urine, this could indicate that somehow the bladder has become infected with something from the colon.

This is not an official diagnosis by any means, merely an observation. Professional advice should be sought for a true diagnosis and treatment.
