You can do it with an awk one-liner if you like:
awk '/^>/{x = /Escherichia coli/;}(x)'

Use the record separator variable RS in awk. For example:
$ awk 'BEGIN{ RS = ">"; } { if ($0 ~ /coli/) { printf ">"$0; } }' input.fa > coli.fa
Or:
$ awk 'BEGIN{ RS = ">"; } { if ($0 ~ /mus/) { printf ">"$0; } }' input.fa > mus.fa
Etc.
If you want to automate this with a shell variable:
$ export NEEDLE="mus"
$ awk -vneedle=${NEEDLE} 'BEGIN{ RS = ">"; } { if ($0 ~ needle) { printf ">"$0; } }' input.fa > needle.fa
