The suitable antimicrobics for controlling E. coli infections typically include fluoroquinolones (like ciprofloxacin), third-generation cephalosporins (such as ceftriaxone), and aminoglycosides (like gentamicin). However, the choice of antibiotic should be guided by susceptibility testing, as E. coli can exhibit resistance to various antimicrobics. In cases of urinary tract infections, nitrofurantoin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole may also be effective. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment recommendations.
Because E. Coli is short for it's scientific name, Escherichia Coli. And you wouldn't want to have to say that constantly in science class, would you? :)
No, BL21(DE3) E. coli is a non-pathogenic strain commonly used in research labs for protein expression. It is derived from E. coli strain B and has been engineered to have a deletion in the gene coding for the protease Lon, making it more suitable for protein production.
Yes, E. coli can grow on a Tryptic Soy Agar (TSA) plate. TSA is a general-purpose growth medium that supports the growth of a wide variety of bacteria, including E. coli, due to its rich nutrient composition. The plate provides the necessary nutrients for E. coli to thrive, making it suitable for isolating and culturing this bacterium in laboratory settings.
The control broth inoculated with Escherichia coli should demonstrate bacterial growth as expected. If there is no growth in the control broth, it may indicate issues with the inoculation process, the broth itself, or other experimental variables affecting bacterial growth.

The full scientific name for E. coli is Escherichia coli.
After 48 hours incubation with e coli, the TSI media will be in black in color.

Could be other sources but anal/ fecal contact/sex would provide the e-coli source to the Urinary Tract.
