| Escherichia coli | <bacteria> The archetypal bacterium for biochemists, used very extensively in experimental work. A rod shaped gram-negative bacillus (0.5 x 3-5 m) abundant in the large intestine (colon) of mammals. Abbreviation: E. Coli (18 Nov 1997) |
|---|---|
| escherichia coli infections | Infections with bacteria of the species escherichia coli. (12 Dec 1998) |
| escherichia coli o157 | A verocytotoxin-producing serogroup belonging to the o subfamily of escherichia coli which has been shown to cause severe food-borne disease. Recently, a strain from this serogroup, serotype h7 which produces shiga-like toxins, has been linked to human disease outbreaks resulting from contamination of foods from bovine origin. This serogroup causes haemorrhagic and haemolytic uraemic syndrome and predominantly haemorrhagic diarrhoea and gastroenteritis in children. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Escherichia coli periplasmic proteinase | <enzyme> Included in group of microbial serine proteinases, EC 3.4.21.14 Registry number: EC 3.4.21.- Synonym: E coli protease I, proteinase i (26 Jun 1999) |
| Escherichia coli RNase I | <enzyme> An enzyme endonucleolytically cleaving RNA to 3'-nucleotides with 2',3'-cyclic nucleotides as intermediates. Synonym: Escherichia coli RNase I, microbial RNase II, plant RNase, RNase N2. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tunica mucosa coli | mucosa of colon |
| tunica muscularis coli | Muscular layer of the wall of the colon. Synonym: tunica muscularis coli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tunica serosa coli | Serous coat of the colon; the visceral peritoneum of the large intestine. Synonym: tunica serosa coli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| juvenile polyposis coli | <radiology> Benign polyposis, inheritance uncertain, inflammatory or retention polyps: round, smooth, soft, mucin-filled, non-neoplastic, onset less than 10 yrs, polyps can prolapse through anus, associated with diarrhoea, protein loss see: polyposis syndromes, Cronkhite-Canada syndrome (12 Dec 1998) |
| familial polyposis coli | <gastroenterology, oncology> A inherited, disorder where there are multiple adenomatous polyps (up to several thousand) in the colon. Malignant degeneration of the polyps (to colon carcinoma) occurs in virtually 100% by age 40. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. (27 Sep 1997) |
| flexura coli dextra | The bend of the colon at the juncture of its ascending and transverse portions. Synonym: flexura coli dextra, hepatic flexure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| flexura coli sinistra | The bend at the junction of the transverse and descending colon. Synonym: flexura coli sinistra, splenic flexure. (05 Mar 2000) |
