Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli is a highly diverse bacterial species found naturally in the human gut, where most strains are commensal, meaning they coexist with their host without causing harm. While certain specialized strains (such as Nissle 1917) have been studied as probiotics, no strain-specific clinical or laboratory evidence is indexed for this entry. The species as a whole spans a wide spectrum from harmless gut residents to pathogenic strains responsible for foodborne illness, and health-relevant properties differ at the individual strain level rather than for the species broadly.
Strains of this species
16 strains of Escherichia coli in the index, with 5,305 linked papers between them.
