E Coli Infections

heat fixing your slide causes the cells to stick to the slide, without that the cells will be washed right off and there will be nothing left to observe.

E. coli can cause a variety of human infections, such as infections in your bladder (a UTI), or infections in your intestines. E coli has different ways it gets around the body's immune system to cause infections.

Escherichia, the genus name of E. Coli. It is named after Theodor Escherich, who had discovered the bacterium.

Escherichia coli

bacillus [rod-shaped]

yes

The arabinose system enables E. coli and its relatives to take up the pentose -arabinose from the growth medium using products of the unlinked araE and araFGH genes, and then convert intracellular arabinose in three steps catalyzed by the products of the araBAD genes to -xylulose-5-phosphate. This then enters the pentose phosphate shunt. AraC protein regulates expression of its own synthesis and the other genes of the ara system. In the presence of arabinose, AraC stimulates initiation of mRNA synthesis from the promoters pE, pFGH, pBAD 10. J. Johnson and R. Schleif, In vivo induction kinetics of the arabinose promoters in Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 177 (1995), pp. 3 and pJ, a promoter serving a gene of unknown function. At pBAD, the AraC protein not only acts positively to stimulate transcription in the presence of arabinose, but also acts negatively in the absence of arabinose to repress transcription initiation; whereas at pC, AraC acts negatively in the presence or absence of arabinose.

E. aerogenes is Methyl Red negative due to the fact that it enzymatically converts these acidic end products into a more basic end product through the use of Acetylmethylcarbinol.

Anus

because it is a virus

Human intestines contain an inherent strain of E.coli. This strain of the bacteria are not pathogenic to humans. Therefore, just finding E.coli is not indicative of any disease unless the strain of the bacteria is found out and is shown to be pathogenic or toxic.

Escherichia /Esch·e·rich·ia/ (esh″ĕ-rik´e-ah) a genus of widely distributed, gram-negative bacteria (family Enterobacteriaceae), occasionally pathogenic for humans. ---- Escherichia co´li a species constituting the greater part of the normal intestinal flora of humans and other animals; it is a frequent cause of urinary tract infections and epidemic diarrheal disease, especially in children.

because e coli will react with toluene to give by-products (I guess?)

Always produce Beta-galactosidas

Viruses

A lac repressor turns off the lac genes by binding to the operator.

No. Escherichia coli is considered to be a facilitative anaerobe.

i believe it is.......the domain bacteria :)) i got this out of my biology text book :)))) hope it helped lots<3

ANS #2: Any food that becomes contaminated with feces can contain e. coli. The bacterium lives in the intestines and is spread by non-hygienic food handling. In cuts of meat that are infected, the bacterium is on the surface and is killed by heat. A steak that is not cooked all the way through is unlikely to be contaminated. Hamburger, on the other hand, has the e. coli potentially mixed throughout. Vegetables can be contaminated by being sprayed with contaminated irrigation water. =========== All animal meat with the exception of sea food, has E Coli, such as pork, lamb, chicken, beef, etc. When you cook steak you are to cook it all the way through to kill of the E Coli. Plus cooking the meat through kills off the worms that live in the meat, yeah there are worms in there, if you eat the meat raw that's how you get E Coli or tape worms. Animals like wolves, lions and the like don't get E Coli from eatting raw meat because they have special enzyms or bacteria in their siliva that break down the E Coli and stop it from affecting them. A side from the E Coli, chimpanses don't get aids they have an anti-body (also a bacteria) that breaks down the disease so it doesn't affect them. The idel thing would be for us humans to take this anti-body and use it in humans to cure aids but the thing is that the chimpanses have other diseases that would cause us harm so we can't take the animals blood and mix it with ours. But it's an interesting consept to think about. something.

Yes, it is true that horses can get sick from E.Coli bacteria. If not taken care of immediately, horses can die from E.Coli.

Yes, you can still get E. coli from water that has been frozen, as the bacteria can survive freezing temperatures. While freezing may inhibit their growth, it does not kill them. If the water is thawed and comes into contact with food or is ingested, the bacteria can potentially cause infection. It is important to ensure that water sources are safe and properly treated, regardless of their temperature.

Streptococcus is a bacteria belonging to the phylum Frimicutes and lactic acid group. One of the effects of streptococci is strep throat.
