Escherichia coli Bacteria, SEM

Color enhanced scanning electron micrograph of Escherichia coli, grown in culture and adhered to a cover slip. Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that is commonly found in the lower intestine of warm-blooded organisms (endotherms). Most E. coli strains are harmless, but some serotypes can cause serious food poisoning in humans, and are occasionally responsible for product recalls due to food contamination.
