Description: Gram-negative straight rods. They are motile by peritrichous flagella or nonmotile, facultatively anaerobic chemoorganotrophic organisms with a both respiratory and fermentative metabolism.

E.coli O157:H7 is a enterohemorrhagic strain producing large quantities of one or more related, potent toxins that cause severe damage to the lining of intestine. These toxins are closely related to the toxin produced by Shigella dysenteriae. The acute disease caused by the bacterium is called hemorrhagic colitis and is characterized by severe cramping and diarrhea. Undercooked or raw hamburger has been implicated in nearly all documented outbreaks and in other sporadic cases. Raw milk was the vehicle in a school outbreak in Canada.

Properties: Number of membranes : 2
Presence of a flagella : Yes
Number of inteins : 0
