Examples

  • 大腸桿菌喺顯微鏡下係呈格蘭氏陰性嘅桿狀細菌。因為大腸桿菌主要可以喺糞便裏面揾到嘅關係,好多時大家會用佢嚟量度一樣嘢有幾乾淨;之不過,其實只有少部分嘅大腸桿菌會導致人體疾病。

    E. coli is a gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria when viewed under the microscope; while it is better known in the media as a measure of dirtiness because of its ubiquitous presence in faeces, only a small number of strains would cause human disease .
