Escherichia coli is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, rod-shaped, coliform bacterium of the genus Escherichia that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms.[1][2] Some serotypes such as EPEC, and ETEC are pathogenic and can cause serious food poisoning in their hosts, and are occasionally responsible for food contamination incidents.[3][4]

Strains

Laboratory:

  • E. coli K-12, one of two laboratory strains (innocuous)
  • Escherichia coli B, the other of the two lab strains from which all lab substrains originate
    • Escherichia coli BL21(DE3)

Pathogenic:

a-g) Adherence mechanism of AIEC[5]
