Escherichia coli bacterium, 2021, Illustration by David S. Goodsell, RCSB Protein Data Bank This painting shows a cross-section through an Escherichia coli cell. The characteristic two-membrane cell wall of gram-negative bacteria is shown in green, with many lipopolysaccharide chains extending from the surface and a network of cross-linked ...
It is primarily found in Gram-negative bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. [1] Enterobactin is the strongest siderophore known, binding to the ferric ion (Fe 3+) with affinity K = 10 52 M −1. [2] This value is substantially larger than even some synthetic metal chelators, such as EDTA (K f,Fe3+ ~ 10 25 M −1). [3]
After gaining entry to the bladder, E. Coli are able to attach to the bladder wall and form a biofilm that resists the body's immune response. [7] Escherichia coli is the single most common microorganism, followed by Klebsiella and Proteus spp., to cause urinary tract infection. Klebsiella and Proteus spp., are frequently associated with stone ...
EcoCyc contains written summaries of E. coli genes, distilled from over 36,000 scientific articles. EcoCyc is also a description of the genome and cellular networks of E. coli that supports scientists to carry out computational analyses. [2] Data objects in the EcoCyc database describe each E. coli gene and gene product.
ESKAPE is an acronym comprising the scientific names of six highly virulent and antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens including: Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp. [1] The acronym is sometimes extended to ESKAPEE to include Escherichia coli. [2]
An outbreak of the Escherichia coli O157 bacterium occurred in South Wales in 2005. It was the largest outbreak of E. coli O157 in Wales and the second largest in the UK. [1] 157 cases were identified in the outbreak; 31 people were hospitalized, and there was a single fatality. Most of the 157 cases identified were children, attending 44 ...
The E. coli Metabolome Database (ECMDB) [1] is a freely accessible, online database of small molecule metabolites found in or produced by Escherichia coli (E. coli strain K12, MG1655). Escherichia coli is perhaps the best studied bacterium on earth and has served as the "model microbe" in microbiology research for more than 60 years. The ECMDB ...
Enterocolitis is an inflammation of the digestive tract, involving enteritis of the small intestine and colitis of the colon. [1] It may be caused by various infections, with bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, or other causes.
