- Originally designated as Bacillus coli in 1895, this bacterium was renamed Escherichia coli after its original discoverer in 1919, after which the revised nomenclature was officially recognized in 1958 thereby establishing Escherichia as a genus, with E. coli as the first species (Henry 2015).

What genus is Escherichia coli?
E. coli is the type species of the genus (Escherichia) and in turn Escherichia is the type genus of the family Enterobacteriaceae, where the family name does not stem from the genus Enterobacter + "i" (sic.) + "aceae", but from "enterobacterium" + "aceae" (enterobacterium being not a genus, but an alternative trivial name to enteric bacterium).
Dec 31, 2022 · Genomes from the E. coli taxonomic group specified by Walk are assigned to PopCOGenT species-groups 0 and 1 ( fig. 2; supplementary table S1, Supplementary Material online), and Clades I, II, and III of Walk are each classified as different PopCOGenT species-groups (4, 5, and 6, respectively).

While biochemical and phylogenetic evidence support the classification of E. coli as a distinct species, the vast genomic (diverse pan-genome and intragenotypic variability), phenotypic (e.g., metabolic pathways), and ecotypic (host-/niche-specificity) diversity, comparable to the diversity observed in known species complexes, suggest that E ...

Species include E. albertii, E. fergusonii, E. hermannii, E. ruysiae, E. marmotae and most notably, the model organism and clinically relevant E. coli. Formerly, Shimwellia blattae [6] and Pseudescherichia vulneris were also classified in this genus.

Given the reclassification of many early-identified Escherichia species, and the cryptic Escherichia clades, there are now four recognized species within the genus: E. coli (including Shigella, as the type species), E. fergusonii, E. albertii, and E. marmotae .

2 days ago · E. coli, (Escherichia coli), species of bacterium that normally inhabits the stomach and intestines. When E. coli is consumed in contaminated water, milk, or food or is transmitted through the bite of a fly or other insect, it can cause gastrointestinal illness. Mutations can lead to strains that.
