My 3 yr old son stool culture came back with Aeromas veronii biovar sabria…?

there is very little about this.. His doctor had not heard of it… The health department has not heard of it… yet it is a bacteria that is linked to e coli and shegella… does anyone have any answers.. is it contagious? Is it fatal? are there symptons besides diarea?
We are from the US. and we have not travel anywhere…
If you have any info please help.

Make sure you got the Latin spelling right Mam. If it is a strain of E. Coli then it is treated as E. Coli.
Escherichia coli (IPA: [ˌɛ.ʃəˈɹɪ.kjə ˈkʰoʊ.laɪ]) (E. coli), is one of many species of bacteria living in the lower intestines of mammals, known as gut flora. When located in the large intestine, it actually assists with waste processing, vitamin K production, and food absorption. Discovered in 1885 by Theodor Escherich, a German pediatrician and bacteriologist,[1] E. coli are abundant: the number of individual E. coli bacteria in the feces that a human defecates in one day averages between 100 billion and 10 trillion.[citation needed] However, the bacteria are not confined to this environment, and specimens have also been located, for example, on the edge of hot springs. The E. coli strain O157:H7 is one of hundreds of strains of the bacterium that causes illness in humans.[2]

As with all Gram-negative organisms, E. coli are unable to sporulate. Thus, treatments which kill all active bacteria, such as pasteurization or simple boiling, are effective for their eradication, without requiring the more rigorous sterilization which also deactivates spores.

As a result of their adaptation to mammalian intestines, E. coli grow best in vivo or at the higher temperatures characteristic of such an environment, rather than the cooler temperatures found in soil and other environments.

If they have identified it in the culture exam then there are antibiotics that are also known to treat this Mam.
