What is E. coli?

Escherichia coli (E. coli) is a bacterium commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals. While many strains are harmless, some can cause serious food poisoning, urinary tract infections, and other illnesses. E. coli is widely used in biotechnology and research, including genetic engineering, protein production, and studying bacterial physiology and genetics. Harmless strains are also used as probiotics.
