Yes, Escherichia coli (E. coli) can be contagious. E. coli is a type of bacteria commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals. While some strains of E. coli are harmless, others can cause illness. Contagion typically occurs through the ingestion of contaminated food or water, contact with contaminated surfaces, or direct contact with feces from infected individuals. Proper hygiene practices, such as thorough handwashing and proper food handling, can help prevent the spread of E. coli infections.
