Conclusion

 

       In conclusion, it is important to understand that although E. coli is a beneficial commensal 

bacterium, it is also possible for E. coli strains to have the potential to cause infections due to 

the presence of genetically distinct virulence factors. Unlike other microorganisms, the 

infections caused by E. coli may not be serious enough. Yet even in children, especially in

developing nations, it’s a major source of UTIs and bloodstream infections. More research into

innovative treatments and vaccines is needed to fight against drug resistance and reduce the

significant global disease burden caused by E. coli.
