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…

The speeches drag on for a couple of hours, but finally all the faculty and students can dig into the food: chicken salad, tomatoes, onions, salad, and custard pie. By evening, the whole department, except for two vegetarian students who did not eat the chicken salad, is stricken with nausea, vomiting, retching, and abdominal cramping. Several individuals complain of diarrhea. One patient shows signs of shock (low blood pressure). Blood and stool samples are collected from patients, and an analysis of all foods served at the meal is conducted. Bacteria can cause gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestinal tract) either by colonizing and replicating in the host, which is considered an infection, or by secreting toxins, which is considered intoxication. Signs and symptoms of infections are typically delayed, whereas intoxication manifests within…arrow_forward
