#Escherichia coli found in #diabetic foot infections is not a uniform #pathogen but constitutes a highly diverse array of genetic groups, with distinct lineages independently adapting to the diabetic wound environment.

#Escherichia albertii, initially identified as Hafnia alvei, by the commercial identification biochemical strip, API 20E, was isolated from an infant with diarrhea in Bangladesh in 1989. However, this #bacterium was later renamed as a novel species, E. albertii

A new study has found that exposure to #sublethal levels of #antibiotics, amounts too low to kill #bacteria, can increase the spread of antibiotic resistance #genes of #Escherichia coli (E. coli) found in the #environment by up to 45 times.

Des résultats d’analyses #biologiques de selles datant d’il y a entre 1 100 et 1300 ans au #Mexique montrent la prévalence de nombreuses #bactéries #pathogènes dont la forme la plus grave d’ #Escherichia #Coli qui, encore aujourd’hui, peut s’avérer #mortelle

I see in the news an article about a #Shigella breakout. Being curious and having never heard of Shigella, I searched #Bing. Before clicking on any links, I see in the corner this excerpt from #Wikipedia noting, "...is genetically closely related to #Escherichia and #Antisemitism." Wait, what? Antisemitism is now a bacterial infection? I think not. The Wikipedia article does NOT say this, so the Bing result is #weird.

In a step forward for #genetic #engineering and synthetic #biology, researchers have modified a strain of #Escherichia #coli #bacteria to be #immune to natural #viral #infections while also minimizing the potential for the bacteria or their modified #genes to escape into the wild.

We increasingly use molecular #DNA diagnostics as a tool to identify #antibioticresistance in clinical settings.
This new research undertakes a direct comparison of the identification of resistance genes in #genome sequences and MIC testing of phenotypic resistance in 234 #Escherichia coli isolates finding strong congruence between the two approaches.
