With the goal of solving the whole‐cell problem with Escherichia coli K‐12 as a model cell, highly accurate genomes were determined for two closely related K‐12 strains, MG1655 and W3110. Completion ...

An E. coli outbreak tied to raw milk cheese has sickened 13 people across nine states, with 8 hospitalized and three left ...

Escherichia coli has long served as a foundational platform for metabolic engineering, owing to its well‐characterised genetics, rapid growth and versatile metabolism. Metabolic engineering seeks to ...

I have completed a master's degree in a science-related graduate school and work as a researcher at a manufacturing company.

Every time a microbiologist sequences a new bacterium or archaeon, the raw string of A, C, G and T letters must be translated into something biologically meaningful: where the genes start and stop, ...

The first large-scale genetic study of E. coli's protective armor has identified the five capsule types that are responsible for 70% of all multidrug-resistant bloodstream infections in Europe.

Uropathogenic E. coli—UPEC—can lead to serious urinary tract infections. E. coli infections are major public health concerns, and multidrug resistance has increased the bacteria's lethality. Globally, ...

New research led by King's College London, in collaboration with the University of Westminster, has shed light on the diversity and characteristics of E. coli strains that drive diabetic foot ...
