Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a rod-shaped bacterium, typically measuring about 1 to 2 micrometers in length and 0.5 micrometers in diameter. Under a microscope, it appears as small, straight rods that can be single or arranged in pairs or chains. E. coli is generally colorless in culture but can be identified using specific stains or media that produce distinct colors or colonies. Some strains may have flagella, giving them motility, while others are non-motile.
