E.coli cannot survive in air or on surfaces. it cannot be spread through coughing or sneezing and normal interactions with people. hence it is not contagious air borne.
e.coli can enter body through oral route like by contaminated food like meat, contaminated water, unpasteurized milk and cheese. it is spread by improper handling of food i.e. under cooked meat, unclean mean, poor hand washing.
