Abstract

Escherichia coli is a bacterium that has gone from a description of just being an intestinal habitat or environmental contaminant to its dispersion in various environments, in many of which it survives for long periods, showing great adaptation, including dryness. Virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes are functional on various genomic platforms, generating health risks. New concepts of domestic and wild reservoirs of E. coli strains as health risk reveal alternatives in the transmission of E. coli and its environment.
