Escherichia coli is the most abundant facultative anaerobic gram-negative bacterium of the
intestinal microffora, naturally colonizing the mucous layer of the colon. A conserved core …

Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen that
adheres to intestinal epithelial cells, causing diarrhoea. It constitutes a significant risk to …

The enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) pathotype is currently divided into two
groups, typical EPEC (tEPEC) and atypical EPEC (aEPEC). The property that distinguishes …

Research has found that certain bacteria are associated with human cancers. Their role,
