Overview

Escherichia is a genus of Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae, whose best-known member, Escherichia coli, normally inhabits the lower intestine of humans and other warm-blooded animals. Most strains are harmless commensals and contribute to gut function, but certain pathogenic variants cause urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal illness, and other infections, and the genus is a frequent focus of work on antimicrobial resistance and food and water safety. E. coli is also a cornerstone organism of laboratory science and biotechnology because it grows rapidly, is genetically tractable, and is readily manipulated for molecular cloning, protein expression, and diagnostics. Research published through the International Journal of Clinical Microbiology engages directly with the genus, including work on carbapenem resistance mechanisms in avian pathogenic E. coli from broiler chickens, the generation of a single-domain antibody against an E. coli strain implicated in camel-calf death, molecular characterization of E. coli in raw chicken meat, assessment of bacteriological groundwater quality, and a multiplex real-time PCR assay for detecting extended-spectrum beta-lactamase genes in urinary tract infections. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to the biology, detection, and antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia.
