The MPN mostly looks to grow E. coli as the indicator species of fecal contamination. Most E. coli is not pathogenic, and you can get many more harmful things like viruses from fecal contamination. Why is E. coli the only thing we look for in the lab to determine whether water is contaminated with fecal matter? (like why not look for the viruses?)
Explain how E.coli helps in human digestion. Please include following points: Mutualistic relationship with its host organism Both gain benefits Helps the host with absorption of Vitamin K Host provides a safe environment to E.coli Helps the digestion process and food breakdown E.coli obtains food from host organism
How is it possible for strict anaerobic bacteria to cause a disease in humans? Strict anaerobe pathogens produce toxins that damage the host cells. There are parts of the human body where oxygen is absent. Strict anaerobes can hide from the immune system rather well. Strict anaerobes can break down the oxygen creating an anaerobic environment in the body.
