Escherichia coli (pronounced /ˌɛʃɪˈrɪkiə ˈkoʊlaɪ/) (E. coli), is a bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded animals. Most E.
Escherichia coli
The common intestinal bacterium E. coli has been the most frequently studied model organism for many decades. With the discovery of restriction enzymes in the early 1970s, E.
Escherichia coli. The most thoroughly-studied of all creatures (possibly excepting ourselves). Its entire genome has been determined down to the last nucleotide: 4,639,221 base pairs of DNA encoding 4,377 genes.
Escherichia coli. A commensal bacterium inhabiting the human colon that is widely used in biology, both as a simple model of cell biochemical function and as a host for molecular cloning experiments.
Escherichia coli a species of fecal bacteria‚ a normal part of our intestinal flora which makes vitamins K and B-12 for us‚ but some strains of which may cause illness if ingested into the upper GI tract ...
Escherichia coli: A gram-negative bacterium whose genome has been sequenced in its entirety. It is model organisms for the study of the prokaryotes. Link to the E.coli genome project website.
Escherichia coli
- A bacterium commonly found in the intestinal tracts of most vertebrates. It is used extensively in recombinant DNA research because it has been genetically well characterized.

Escherichia coli (E. coli ) are very common intestinal inhabitants. Some can be dangerous in food and water supplies. Most newsworthy are life-threatening infections from eating undercooked E. coli 0157 - contaminated hamburger.

And a lot of bacteria that cause disease have had their genome sequenced, like salmonella and Escherichia coli. And anthrax was another bacteria that causes disease, so it was important to get its genome sequence.
The capsule is a major virulence factor in the major disease-causing bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Nonencapsulated mutants of these organisms are avirulent, i.e. they don't cause disease.
