No. Eschericha coli is a bacterium (that lives in the gut). Leukemia is cancer of the blood and bone marrow. The cause of most forms of leukemia is unknown. It is however very unlikely that a bacterium from which we benefit (or even are dependent on) is the cause of cancer.

My son plays with a small boy with leukemia, any ideas on how to help my son understand what leukemia in children means?

A great way to help your child understand about leukemia is to find a book in your local bookstore that is age appropriate and will help him better understand what is going on with the boy. Another thing you can do is sit with him and explain to him what is going on with the boy and answer any questions he may have.


What is an example of symbiotic bacteria?

Ecoli. with out Ecoli in our digestive system, we would not be able to process our food the right way. They help us live, we give them a home. this is not to say that Ecoli is harmless. It will kill you if it ends up in the wrong part of your body; but most of the time it just chills in the large intestine.
