Escherichia coli strain Ecoli_len:881774

Escherichia coli strain Ecoli_len:881774 is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is classified as a facultative anaerobe, with mobility facilitated by the presence of flagella. This strain is mesophilic, with an optimal growth temperature of 37°C, and can exist in various forms, including pairs and singles. It has a biotic relationship characterized as free-living, with a single replicon and a double membrane structure. Ecoli_len:881774 is host-associated and has a diverse range of hosts, including Homo sapiens, Gallus gallus, Bos taurus, and various other species spanning multiple taxa, such as mammals, birds, and plants. This broad host range indicates its ecological versatility and adaptability. In terms of health implications, Ecoli_len:881774 is associated with numerous pathogenic effects in humans, including urinary tract infections (UTIs), gastrointestinal infections, and more severe conditions such as neonatal meningitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Its role in foodborne illnesses and gastrointestinal diseases underscores its significance in public health. The presence of E. coli in various environments, including both animal hosts and as a free-living organism, highlights its ecological importance. It suggests that Ecoli_len:881774 plays a critical role in microbial communities and may influence health outcomes in its hosts, with implications for understanding disease transmission and prevention strategies in both human and veterinary medicine.
