Oh I'm quite certain that I can.  (+ info)

My girlfriend has Escherichia coli, are we allowed to have sex?

---

My girlfriend recently her urine tested and found out she has e-coli. She has been taken prescribed anti-biotics for a couple of weeks. My question is it advisable that we have sex during her treatment.
Both of us want to do it, I just wanted to check from a medical perspective if it is advisable.
No, that's the reason she got E-coli, so stop thinking about yourself and wait.  (+ info)

How do you pronounce escherichia coli?

I need to know how to say this for my science fair project! Please help!

where can you get escherichia coli and serratia marcescens?

---

for my science fair project i need these two bacterias and i need a place to get them. i live in chicago so would i be able to get the here or would i have to get them online?

Can you get Escherichia coli from eating an ass out?

---

just curious.
Yes and yes. E. coli is normal bacterium that inhabits our intestinal tract. It helps us digest food and provides us with nutrients our bodies cannot produce alone. Therefore, you will get E. coli from that person-their normal flora. The pathogenic E. coli O157 is the one you are questioning. If the person has it, yes in theory you can contract it. Honestly, if that person had a pathogenic E.coli infection, the last thing they would want was to have their *** ate (as you put it), They would be very sick and most likely in the bathroom. Therefore, I'd assume you're safe.

One question, why would you even want to eat an *** anyways? Just curious.  (+ info)

What are the 5 strains of Escherichia coli?

---

the diseases that each strain causes?
I assume you mean the five groups of E. coli associated with gastroenteritis. The are certainly way more than five strains of E. coli. The five groups of E. coli that cause gastroenteritis are:

enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) - causes travelar diarrhea, infant diarrhea, watery diarrhea. Produces heat stable and/or heat labile enterotoxins athat stimulate hyper-secretion of fluids and electrolytes in the small intestine.

Enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC) - causes watery diarrhea followed by development of dysentery with some bloody stools. Here the bacteria invade and destroy the colonic epithelium

Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) - causes infant diarrhea in impoverished countries. Symptoms include fever nausea, vomiting and nonbloody stools. Caused by adherence and destruction of epithelial cells in the small intestine.

Enterohemorrhagic E. coli(EHEC) - causes hemorrhagic colitis with severe abdominal cramps, initial watery diarrhea followed by severe bloody diarrhea. Caused by production of shiga-like toxins which disrupt protein synthesis.

Enteroaggregative E. coli (EAggEC) - persistent watery diarhhea with vomitting, dehydration and low grade fever. Bacteria adhere to the intestinal mucosa preventing fluid absorption.

Another group of E. coli is extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) These E. coli causes disease outside of the intestine (urinary tract infections, meningitis, septicemia, etc.).

These E. coli can be separated into specific groups, all of which fall under the category of ExPEC. These groups include, but are not limited to:

Urinary Pathogenic E. coli (UPEC)

Neonatal meningitic E. coli (NMEC)

Avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC).

As you can see, there are many ways to classify/group E. coli. I hope this is what you were looking for. If not, feel free to email me.  (+ info)

How does Escherichia Coli (e coli) kill people? ?

This is for my homework and it is due Tuesday, 11th of September, so please answer as quick as possible.

What is the best antibiotic for Escherichia coli?

---

It depends on what strain of E. Coli it is. Usually there is a culture done to see what antibiotics the strain is resistant to so they can find the most effective one.  (+ info)

Difference between Escherichia coli O157:H7,EnterotoxigenicEscherichia coli,Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia Coli?

---

These are different types of E. Coli food poisoning caused by the bacteria Escherichia Coli or E. Coli for short.
These are all the same bacterial species (E. coli) but different variants (strains).
Here is a short description of the most commonly found pathogenic E. coli variants:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._coli#Virulence_properties

The differences are caused by the presence (or absence) of plasmids (extrachromosomal pieces of DNA) or virulence cassettes. On these extra pieces of DNA, there is genetic information coding for the specific toxins or adhesion factors.

How does temperature effect doubling time of Escherichia coli?

---

Of Microbes
Temperature is a growth component of microorganisms, and the growth of Escherichia coli is temperature dependent in some senses. In general, organisms grow at different rates depending on temperature, as one aspect. While some organisms like low temperatures (psychrophiles), some organisms like normal temperature range like ur bodies (35-37 degree Celsius--mesophiles), while some thrive on extreme environements, such as thermal vents (thermophiles).

Specifically, temperature dependence of growth, and thus doubling time, signifies the fact that an an organism's metabolism is temperature dependent, in that some enzymes are activated at higher temperatures while some at lower temperatures. Generally, increasing the temperature also increases the reaction; if you apply this to an organism, such as E. coli, its rate of, for example, glucose consumption would increase, which translates to more energy that the cell can use to couple with anabolic reactions (such as cell membrane biosynthesis).

Of course, there is only a range wherein the temperature could rise enough such that the temperature increase would not be deterimental to the cell and that growth would either be inefficient or, worse, completely inhibited. So temperature has a direct correlation to an organism's growth, specifically in enhancing or inhibiting the temperature-dependent metabolic pathways, since metabolism is one of the main components of growth and doubling time.

Hope this helps!  (+ info)
