Hello, We are doing a discusion in Biology class about bacterium. I am stuck In this bacteria:Escherichia coli I have no idea what to add to the description my classmate did. Can you please help me with that? (I would apreciate a short ansewr :) He wrote this: Escherichia coli is a bacterium which is normally present in human and animal intestine; this bacterium has some unique properties, which are needed to be known by the health care professionals. A special feature is the fact that this bacterium has the beneficial effect for human health, but also pathogenic strains, such as Escherichia coli O157: H7 causes diseases, for example, gastrointestinal colibacillosis, and life-threatening condition – hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Also, E. coli is a facultative anaerobe categorized as an organism that uses both aerobic respiration and fermentation when making energy and nutrients. This metabolic versatility enables E. coli to live in different conditions and change as the conditions evolve. The bacterium has the ability to replicate by binary fission an easy process through which the bacterial cell duplicates the DNA and undergoes cytoplasmic division, hence multiplying. In general, it is crucial for the healthcare provider to understand E. coli especially when diagnosing the infections, developing the right care plans as well as stopping any spread of the bacterium. Some of the signs that indicate that one is affected by E. coli are abdominal pain, diarrhea which may contain blood, and vomiting. Furthermore, measures should be taken to ensure that health care facilities reduce the spreading of these diseases and fungal infections to patients as well as the health care providers. Thank you in advance!
