What is more virulent E. coli ID50 of 100 or salmonella ID50 of 1000000?

Neither; virulence is a subjective measure of the severity of symptoms caused by microbial infection, it is not related to the ID50 of the infecting organism.
The ID50 number for an infectious agent refers the the dose required to infect half of a population; it is usually given in terms of individual organisms. A higher ID50 equals more difficult transmission (ignoring other factors that affect transmission), so a lower ID50 would make the agent more infectious.
So, E. coli is more infectious than Salmonella, as it takes more individual salmonella organisms to cause infection.
