Yes, E. coli are Gram negative.
To determine which pathogen you are dealing with. Bacteria with a thick peptidoglycan layer stain gram positive (like staphylococcus aureus) while bacteria with a thin layer stain gram negative (like escherichia coli)

If you are talking about a Gram Stain, then red. E. coli is Gram negative which means that Safranin will stain it red during a gram stain.
It is gram negative
E. coli is a gram negative bacteria, meaning that it has a cytoplasmic lipid membrane, a peptidoglycan layer, and a (LPS) lipopolysaccharide layer. As a result, e. coli stains a pink colour on a gram stain from the counterstain saffranin. Gram positives stain purple retain the crystal violet dye even after washed with a decolouring solution.
Gram Negative.
e. coli stains Gram negative.
Salmonella is a Gram Negative Rod
Yes, E. coli are Gram negative.
I think you mean gram negative bacilli. They get their name as those who do not retain crystal violet dye in the gram staining protocol. Many gram negative bacteria are pathenogenic or disease causing. e-coli and salmonella are gram negative bacteria.
The microorganism is called Escherichia coli, and is usually abbreiviated "E. coli". The organism is classified as a gram negative bacterium, and it is rod-shaped. It normally lives in the gut of mammals. See the wiki page on Escherichia coli for more info.
