CNN News: 大腸桿菌危險的一面

E. coli is a type of bacteria. It lives in your intestines and it leaves in the intestines of animals.

大腸桿菌是一種細菌。它生活在人和動物的腸子里.

Most of the time, E. coli is harmless. You`re not going to get sick. But there are some strains that can get you sick.

大多數(shù)時候，大腸桿菌是無害的。你不會因此而生病。但是有些菌株會讓你生病。

E. coli 0157:H7 is a particularly dangerous strain of E. coli. You can get it from undercooked ground meat. You can get it from vegetables, from unpasteurized milk and juice, from soft cheeses.

H7是一種特別危險的大腸桿菌菌株。它存在于未煮熟的碎肉中、蔬菜中、未經(jīng)高溫消毒的牛奶和果汁以及軟干酪中。

While it is found in vegetables, ultimately, an animal is the source. So, animal waste somehow has come in contact with crops.

雖然它在蔬菜中可以發(fā)現(xiàn)H7菌種，但最終，動物是來源。因為，動物糞便與農(nóng)作物有某種聯(lián)系。

Children and adults with weakened immune system, they`re the most vulnerable to getting very sick. The signs of E. coli poisoning are nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, cramps, fatigue and fever. Most people who get sick from E. coli, they recover in five to 10 days. But some people, they get really sick. Their organs can shut down and they can die.

免疫力低下的兒童和成人，最容易生病。大腸桿菌中毒的癥狀是惡心、嘔吐、腹痛、痙攣、疲勞和發(fā)燒。大多數(shù)感染大腸桿菌的人會在5到10天內(nèi)康復。但是有些人，他們病情嚴重。人體的器官會被關閉，而最終導致這些患者死亡。

There are things that you can do to prevent an E. coli infection. Wash your fruits and vegetables, cook your meats thoroughly, use a thermometer and get that thermometer up to 160 degrees.

可以做一些事情來預防大腸桿菌感染。洗凈水果和蔬菜，徹底煮熟肉類，使用溫度計，把溫度計調(diào)到160度。

There`s no cure for an E. coli infection. Antibiotics don`t work. So, the best thing you can do is keep yourself hydrated and keep yourself rested.

沒有治愈大腸桿菌的方法。抗生素不起作用。所以，你能做的最好的事情就是多喝水，多休息。
