• Abstract:

  E. coli is a bacterium that is commonly found in the intestinal tract of humans and animals, and can proliferate in different environments. Due to the demographic and geographical characteristics of the Potosí region, this bacterium can represent a danger to the inhabitants due to its spread. For this reason, it was proposed to evaluate the transmission mechanisms of E. coli in different areas of the city of Potosí, with the objective of observing its incidence on health and well-being, as part of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) contemplated. in the 2030 agenda of the United Nations program. To obtain evidence, a descriptive methodology was applied with a cross-sectional approach, which allowed us to observe the epidemiological situation in this region. The results show a worrying environmental health problem, considering that many areas of the city lack the necessary mechanisms for prevention and health promotion. Finally, the discussions and recommendations are presented in which actions are proposed to minimize and/or eradicate the spread of E. coli as a determining factor that affects the health and well-being of the population, seeking to improve sustainability in the field of health. in the region.
