Yes, E. coli can multiply rapidly under favorable conditions, such as the presence of nutrients and suitable temperatures (typically around 37°C or 98.6°F). Under optimal conditions, E. coli can double in number approximately every 20 minutes. This rapid multiplication can lead to significant increases in bacterial populations, which is a concern in food safety and public health.
