Pilus biogenesis in Escherichia coli encompasses an intricate process by which these filamentous organelles are assembled and deployed to mediate adhesion, colonisation, and biofilm formation. Central ...

E. coli O157:H7 is one of thousands of serotypes of Escherichia coli. E. coli O157:H7 was first recognized as a pathogen in 1982 during an investigation into an outbreak of hemorrhagic colitis ...

A new study suggests genetic material from E. coli bacteria in farm animals could be contributing to the evolution of deadly strains of E. coli in humans. Genetic material from E. coli bacteria in ...

Bacteria that often cause urinary infections can spread as rapidly as swine flu. But E. coli that are resistant to several classes of antibiotics behave differently. Escherichia coli (E. coli) are the ...
