Chapter 4.L2, Problem 1VC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Structural stains are used to identify special cell parts like capsules, endospores, and flagella, that are not revealed by the common stains. Capsule staining is used to differentiate between the capsulated and non-capsulated bacteria.

write out a detailed summary on E.Coli. Questions below will help yu frame your summary.
Please describe the bacterium. What is its shape and size? Is it Gram-positive or negative? Pictures are always fun! If you can find a microscopic image – include it.
What is/are the reservoir(s)? e.g. water, food, human, etc.
Are there parameters needed for infection? (Temperature, pH)
What is/are the mode(s) of transmission. If it's foodborne - is it linked to a specific food?
How many cases occur each year? In the US and/or worldwide and/or in the County where you live
Has it caused any outbreaks or epidemics?
