E. coli is a leading cause of waterborne bacterial contamination globally. Pathogenic strains cause severe gastrointestinal illness and kidney failure — making rapid, field-based detection essential for public health.
*WHO Global Burden of Foodborne Diseases, 2015 · CDC Water Quality Guidelines
Gastrointestinal Illness
Severe diarrhoea, cramps and vomiting — onset within 1–10 days of exposure
Kidney Failure (HUS)
Toxigenic strains cause Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome, especially in children
Waterborne Outbreaks
Contaminated drinking & recreational water are leading transmission vectors
~1.5M Deaths / Year
WHO-estimated annual deaths from waterborne faecal-contamination diseases
