Does E. Coli have flagella?
yes
E. coli can move by using its?
it move by rotating its flagella
What are needed for bacterial conjugation pili or flagella?
Pili. Flagella provide the mechanism of motility but does not attach to other bacterias.
Causative agent of E. coli?
gram negative bacilli and enterobacteriaceae presense in intestine with pili
Most bacteria have some kind of structure that facilitates movement What structure do E. coli have which allows them to move?
flagella /\
What the example of non motile bacteria?
E. coli is a motile bacteria. It utilizes flagella(whip-like structures) in order to engage in locomotion.
What is a short thick appendage that enables bacterium Escherichia coli to attach to other surfaces?
Pilus, or "pili" for plural.
What is the scientific name for E coli?
Escherichia coli
What structures if present allow bacteria to move?
A bacteria moves using a structure called the flagellum, which resembles a tail.
What is pyelonephritis associated pili?
Pili are thin, hair-like projections on the surface of organisms such as bacteria. The pyelonephritis-associated pili, or PAP, of uropathogenic E. coli (which is the major cause of urinary tract infections) are homologous to type I pili, which is composed of pilin subunits and binds to mannose residues on host cell surfaces. PAP, however, are more thin and flexible and bind to the human receptor GBO4.

What are the general charateristitcs of escherichia coli?
It is rod-shaped and Gram-negative with flagella for movement. These E. coli make infections on wounds, the urinary tract, biliary tract, and peritonitist. Escherichia coli can often be found in liquids such as water and milk. They can be found in solids too such as dirt and soil.
