Wow, that's one hell of a name. No wonder they always use E. Coli...

Imagine being called Echerichia. School must have been brutal.

It's not the name though, it's the full taxonomy.

That's like your mom calling out your whole ancestry before you get grounded for the rest of the summer vacation.

The scientific name only consists of the genus and species taxons, so Escherichia coli is already the full name.
