Escherichia coli (/ ˌ ɛ ʃ ɪ ˈ r ɪ k i ə ˈ k oʊ l aɪ /; commonly abbreviated E. coli) is a Gram-negative gammaproteobacterium commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms (endotherms). The descendants of two isolates, K-12 and B strain, are used routinely in molecular biology as both a tool and a model organism.
Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is an emerging focal therapy for prostate cancer, particularly suitable for small tumors confined to the prostate. Unlike traditional treatments such as radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy, which may lead to side effects like urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, IRE aims to minimize such risks ...
Vaccines targeting common gut bacteria E.coli could reduce rates of colon cancer in countries such as the UK, scientists have suggested.. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute have ...
Enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAEC) Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) Verotoxin-producing E. coli; E. coli O157:H7 is an enterohemorrhagic strain also 2006 North American E. coli outbreak; E. coli O104:H4, also 2011 E. coli O104:H4 outbreak; Escherichia coli O121; Escherichia coli O104:H21; Escherichia coli K1, meningitis
Pathogenic E. coli strains can be categorized based on elements that can elicit an immune response in animals, namely: [citation needed] O antigen: part of lipopolysaccharide layer; K antigen: capsule; H antigen: flagellin; For example, E. coli strain EDL933 is of the O157:H7 group.
From 2002 to 2010, a team at the Hungarian Academy of Science created a strain of Escherichia coli called MDS42, which is now sold by Scarab Genomics of Madison, WI under the name of "Clean Genome E. coli", [123] where 15% of the genome of the parental strain (E. coli K-12 MG1655) were removed to aid in molecular biology efficiency, removing IS ...
Prostate cancer is a major topic of ongoing research. From 2016–2020, over $1.26 billion was invested in prostate cancer research, representing around 5% of global cancer research funds. [122] This places prostate cancer 10th among 18 common cancer types in funding per cancer death, and 9th in funding per disability-adjusted life year lost. [123]
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in fish oil may help prevent several types of cancer, including colon, stomach, and lung cancers, a new study suggests. ... prostate cancer is the only cancer type ...
