A new study has shown that the physical movements of the gut influence how enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) colonizes and activates its virulence genes in living hosts. Using zebrafish models, ...
Researchers have, for the first time, estimated how quickly E. coli bacteria can spread between people — and one strain moves as fast as swine flu. Using genomic data from the UK and Norway, ...
Bacteria that often cause urinary infections can spread as rapidly as swine flu. But E. coli that are resistant to several classes of antibiotics behave differently. Escherichia coli (E. coli) are the ...
