The USDA expert says that e. coli "sometimes" infect cows' intestines. This is a common error non-medical people often make--they imagine that e. coli generally is a pathogen. It's not. Mammals, including us, normally have e. coli in their/our guts; the e. coli make digestive enzymes which enable us to digest our food. That's why you often need to get your intestines re-colonized after taking antibiotics for a long time. (E. coli also make the compounds that cause your poop to stink, which is why the smell of rotten meat resembles the smell of poop.)
The danger in slaughterhouses is that if e. coli get into the the meat because the intestines are not kept separate from the flesh, they (the e. coli) can grow to greater density and secrete a dangerously large amount of bacterial toxins, which does not happen in the gut where the flow-through prevents them from accumulating to such high density.
