What would make this E. coli unfriendly?

The answer to that would be the environment that it lives in.

Let's go through the different things that can change the environment for this microbe.

There's other microbes too, mainly bacteria, that can turn more pathogenic and create

this problem.

Number one, having high glucose.

If you're diabetic, you're at a higher risk than someone that doesn't have diabetes,
