Scope note: Especie de BACILOS GRAMNEGATIVOS ANAEROBIOS FACULTATIVOS que suelen encontrarse en la parte distal del intestino de los animales de sangre caliente. Por lo general no son patógenos, pero algunas cepas producen DIARREA e infecciones piógenas. Las cepas patógenas (virotipos) se clasifican según sus mecanismos patogénicos específicos, como toxinas (ESCHERICHIA COLI enterotoxigénica), etc.

Scope note: A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.
