Intestinal bacterium (1,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

e coli

'intestinal bacterium' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for e coli that I've seen before include "cause of illness" , "Common species of bacterium" , "Cause of infection" , "Some types of this bacterium are toxic" , "Type of bacteria causing food poisoning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post, The Times, the L.A. Times Daily and The New York Times.
