Most Escherichia coli strains are harmless, but some serotype can cause
serious food poisoning in humans and are occasionally responsible for
product recalls due to food contamination (Migular et al.,
2007).Escherichia Coli Isolated
Also the harmless strains are part of
the normal floral of the gut and can benefit their host [by producing
vitamin k2 and by preventing the establishment of the pathogenic
bacteria within the intestine (Michael et al., 2002)
Escherichia coli
and related bacteria composed of about 0.1% of the gut flora and fecal
oral transmission is the major route through which pathogenic strains of
the bacterium cause diseases (Okoli et al., 2005).Escherichia Coli
Isolated
Cells are able to survive outside the body for a limited
amount of time which makes them ideal indicator organisms to test
environmental sample for fecal contamination.Escherichia Coli Isolated
However,
a growing body of research that has examined environmentally
persistence of Escherichia coli which can survive fro extended period of
time outside the host (Lee et al., 1996)Escherichia Coli Isolated
Furthermore,
the bacterium can also be grown easily and in expensively in a
laboratory setting and has been inextensively investigated fro over 60
years. Escherichia coli is the most widely studied and an important
species in the field of biotechnology and microbiology as well, where it
has served as the host organism for the majority of work with
recombinant DNA (Davis et al., 2008).Escherichia Coli Isolated
Conclusively,
this was done to ascertain the significant of antibiotics resistance
usage in microorganism and human medicines and also to know the
mechanisms for spreading antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli in
animals and vice versa which remain controversial.Escherichia Coli
