:D the LPS (lipo polysaccharide layer of its cell wall) of coliforms is a very good antigen - activates immune system ---> anaphylaxis ---> septic shock (rapidly fatal) .. this happens only if it can get into blood.. other ways : it can produce toxins (entero toxigenic e-coli, enteropathogenic ecoli)... it can cause diarrhea... the same ecoli (which are commensals in intestine) are disease producing in the urinary tract... :D because the urinary epithelium is not made for resisting e.coli... same with candida... its a omnipresent fungus, a commensal, and a rapidly fatal disease producing organism in immunosuppressed individual
