ONPG (o-nitrophenyl-β-D-galactopyranoside) enters E. coli primarily through passive diffusion due to its small size and hydrophobic properties. Once inside the bacterial cell, it can be hydrolyzed by the enzyme β-galactosidase, producing o-nitrophenol, which can be detected colorimetrically. This process is often used in laboratory settings to study enzyme activity and bacterial metabolism.

Is E. coli a major cause of UTI?
Yes, Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a major cause of urinary tract infections (UTIs), responsible for about 80-90% of cases. E. coli can enter the urinary tract through the urethra and multiply in the bladder, leading to infection.

Where is coli normal flora?
Coli normal flora, primarily composed of Escherichia coli (E. coli), is predominantly found in the intestines of humans and warm-blooded animals. It plays a crucial role in digestion and maintaining gut health. While E. coli is typically harmless in the gut, some strains can cause illness if they enter other parts of the body or if the balance of gut flora is disrupted.
