It 's not like it once was back in their day of not needing a higher…

In fact, E. coli plays a necessary role in the human digestive system. The danger of E. coli comes from the specific strain known as STEC, or Shiga toxin-producing E. coli.

When this strain of E. coli enters the intestine of human, symptoms such as diarrhea occur (Hedge, 2016). STEC has not always been an issue. The feeding of grain-based feed to dairy and beef…
