E. coli O157:H7 does not normally inhabit the colon:

E. coli O157:H7 is one of hundreds of strains of the bacterium

Escherichia coli. Although most strains are harmless and live in the

intestines of healthy humans and animals, this strain produces a

powerful toxin and can cause severe illness.

E. coli O157:H7 was first recognized as a cause of illness in 1982

during an outbreak of severe bloody diarrhea; the outbreak was traced

to contaminated hamburgers. Since then, most infections have come from

eating undercooked ground beef.

The combination of letters and numbers in the name of the bacterium

refers to the specific markers found on its surface and distinguishes

it from other types of E. coli.

Unsurprisingly, there is absolutely nothing in the article
