Hey, my name is E. coli.
I'm a Gram negative bacteria and I'm part of the enterbacteriaceae family.
In my family I am part of tribe I, Escherichieae.
My whole family is oxidase negative.
I live in the bowels.

My uropathic strains are the most common cause of urinary tract infection. For teh win!
Some of my strains have virulence factors, so I can cause diarrhoea.
The diarrhoea can watery or bloody, depending on which strain you have.





How funny, I found a website that lets you adopt a microbe. In each post is a picture of a funny lil dude that tell you what it is, and what it does to your body and how it affects you.

I've adopted this one called E.Coli.
