👉 Osoriella is a genus of bacteria that belongs to the family Escherichia coli (E. coli). These bacteria are common in the human digestive tract and can cause infections such as dysentery, which is characterized by loose stools, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. They are also important for foodborne illnesses due to their ability to ferment carbohydrates into lactic acid, which promotes the growth of E. coli.
