Description

Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the intestines of humans and animals, serves as an indicator organism in microbiology and plays diverse roles in scientific research, food production, and the environment. Certain strains of E. coli are used for genetic engineering and protein expression in laboratories, contributing to advancements in biotechnology. However, some strains of E. coli can cause foodborne illnesses when contaminated food or water is consumed. Ensuring proper sanitation, food handling, and water treatment practices are essential to prevent the spread of harmful E. coli strains while utilizing its beneficial aspects for research and biotechnology purposes.
