Shiga toxin-producing E. coli(STEC), also called verotoxinogenic E. coli, usually do not cause disease inanimals but may cause watery diarrhoea, haemorrhagic colitis, and/orhaemolytic uraemic syndrome in humans.

A bacterial infection in the bloodstream, a severe allergic reaction, or damage to the nervous system (brain and nerves) may cause vasodilatory shock. When a person is in shock (from any cause), not enough blood and oxygen are reaching the body's organs. If shock lasts more than a few minutes, the lack of oxygen starts to damage the bodyâs organs. If shock isn't treated quickly, it can cause permanent organ damage or death.
