Escherichia coli is a gram negative coliform bacterium found in the intestines. The bacterium is spread by non-hygienic handling of foods. Any method of handling food that allows them to come in contact with fecal material is a route of transfer. Tying off the rectum so as to retain the intestinal contents during slaughtering/field dressing is one method of avoiding transfer. So are washing the hands and wearing disposable gloves and sanitizing all food handling tools and surfaces. A recent E. colirelated food recall was attributed to using irrigation water that had been contaminated by wild/feral pigs. The fecal coliform count is a method used to describe water quality. It is considered unhealthy to swim in water with a count higher than 1000. There are four classes of enterovirulent E. coli. You can read more about them in the FDA Bad Bug Book. See Related Links.
