Type and morphology. E. coli is a gram-negative, facultative anaerobe, nonsporulating coliform bacterium. Cells are typically rod-shaped, and are about 2.0 μm long and 0.25–1.0 μm in diameter, with a cell volume of 0.6–0.7 μm 3.

Apr 8, 2009 · Our study revealed that E. coli isolates from SSTIs exhibit a remarkable virulence potential that is comparable to that of E. coli isolates from urinary tract infections and bacteremia. Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are one of the most common infections in patients of all age groups.
Jun 24, 2022 · The bacterium is the causative agent of a variety of intestinal pathologies such as watery and/or bloody diarrhea, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), and colitis.

Staphylococcus epidermidis is a permanent member of the normal human microbiota, commonly found on skin, and mucous membranes. By adhering to tissue surface moieties of the host via specific adhesins, S. epidermidis is capable of establishing a lifelong commensal relationship with humans that begins early in life.
Bacterial cellular morphologies are the shapes that are characteristic of various types of bacteria and often key to their identification. Their direct examination under a light microscope enables the classification of these bacteria (and archaea ).
