Yes, you can survive E. coli infection if promptly and effectively treated.
Yes, E. coli is able to survive in anaerobic conditions, meaning it can live without oxygen.
You do not know if a given sample of hamburger meat contains e coli, but you do know that if e coli is present, you can kill it by proper cooking; if the meat is undercooked, it may have e coli which will survive the inadequate cooking process and may cause food poisoning.
E. coli bacteria can survive on surfaces like shoes for a few hours to a few days, depending on factors such as humidity, temperature, and surface material. It is important to regularly clean and disinfect surfaces that may come into contact with E. coli to prevent its spread.
E. coli is a facultative anaerobic bacterium, meaning it can survive in both oxygen-rich (aerobic) and oxygen-poor (anaerobic) environments.
Escherichia coli
The DNA strand in E. coli is approximately 1.36 millimeters long when fully stretched out.
No, E. Coli is not a parasite. Far from it, in fact. E. Coli is an essential microorganism in your intestines that aids in the digestion of sugar and other nutrients. There are literally billions of them in every healthy human digestive tract and without them we could not survive. However, There is a special line of E. Coli (O-157) that arise which are prominent causes of urinary tract infections.
E. coli bacteria can survive on dry surfaces for a few hours to a few days, depending on conditions such as temperature and humidity. In general, they are more likely to survive longer in cooler and more humid environments. Regular cleaning and disinfection can help reduce the presence of E. coli on surfaces.

E.Coli feeds on undigested nutrients in mammal intestines.
