Escherichia coli is a commensal of the vertebrate gut that is increasingly involved in various intestinal and extra-intestinal infections as an opportunistic pathogen. Numerous pathotypes that represent groups of strains with specific pathogenic characteristics have been described based on heterogeneous and ...
coli has also been widely exploited as a cloning host in recombinant DNA technology. But E. coli is more than just a laboratory workhorse or harmless intestinal inhabitant; it can also be a highly versatile, and frequently deadly, pathogen. Several different E. coli strains cause diverse ...
Common infections with E coli as a pathogen include cholecystitis, bacteremia, cholangitis, urinary tract infection (UTI), traveler's diarrhea, pneumonia, and neonatal meningitis. The genus Escherichia is named after Theodor Escherich, the individual who isolated the type species of the genus. These...

Of 873 samples of hospital food examined, 63 contained Escherichia coli in numbers between 25 and 10 4 per gramme. In four surveys it was found that the fcal serotypes of E. coli of ward patients were generally similar to those present in food, and 5 acquisitions by patients of the sero...
UropathogenicEscherichiacoliis the main etiological agent of UTI; this pathogen has a whole arsenal ofvirulence factorsthat have allowed it to adapt tourinarytract. In addition, its multidrug-resistance represents a true health challenge, since therapeutic options are considerably reduced (1,15). Altho...

Escherichia coli is both a harmless commensal in the intestines of many mammals, as well as a dangerous pathogen. The evolutionary paths taken by strains of this species in the commensal-to-pathogen transition are complex and can involve changes both in
The survival characteristics of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in silage derived from contaminated grass were investigated. The survival of other enteric bacteria was also investigated to determine if E. coli O157:H7 demonstrates enhanced acid tolerance in comparison. Samples of chopped grass were treated as...
