to prevent diarrhea caused by E. coli, among other things, in the red
army, and was widely available over then counter. Presently phage

2nd, 2007 the FDA gave approval to apply its O157: H7 killing phage
in mist, spray or wash on live animals that will be slaughtered for
human consumption
Feng et al. (2002) stated that E. coli is one of the main species of
bacteria living in the lower intestines of mammals, known as gut flora.
When located in the large intestine. It actually assists with waste
processing, vita mink production and food absorption. In 1885, it was
discovered by the odor that E. coli strain O157:H9 is one of hundreds
of strains of the bacterium that cause illness in human. E. coli are
unable to sporulate so treatment with pasteurization or simple boiling,
will kill all active bacteria.
Alam and Zurek (2004) stated that if E.coli escape the intestinal
tract through a perforation (hole or tear, for example from an ulcer
ruptured appendix, or a surgical error) and enter the abdomen, they
usually cause peritonitis that, E. coli are extremely sensitive to such
antibiotics as streptomycin or gentamycin, so treatment with
antibiotics is usually effective. This could rapidly change, E. coli
rapidly aquired drug resistance. Certain strains of E. coli, such as E.
coli O157:H7, E. coli O121 and E. coli O104:H21, are toxigenic
(some produce a toxin very similar to that seen in dysentery). They
can cause food poisoning usually associated with eating cheese and
contaminated meat (contaminated during or shortly after slaughter or
during storage or display). O157:H7 is farther notorious for causing
