Overview

Escherichia coli, commonly known as E. coli, is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that normally inhabits the intestines of humans and other warm-blooded animals. While many strains are harmless or beneficial, others are pathogenic and can cause infections ranging from gastrointestinal illness to urinary and systemic disease. E. coli is also a key organism in microbiology and biotechnology, widely used in research and the production of proteins and other compounds, and it is an important focus in the study of antimicrobial resistance. Research in the International Journal of Clinical Microbiology and affiliated journals investigates E. coli in clinical and veterinary contexts. One study detects carbapenem resistance mechanisms among avian pathogenic E. coli isolated from broiler chickens, contributing to the understanding of antimicrobial resistance, while another describes the generation of a single-domain antibody against an E. coli strain implicated in camel-calf mortality. Additional work characterizes E. coli contamination in raw chicken meat and examines bacterial pathogens in environmental and food samples. Together these peer-reviewed, open-access articles gather evidence relevant to E. coli, including its detection, resistance, and significance across human, animal, and food microbiology.
