The approximate size of Escherichia coli, often abbreviated as E. coli, is about 1-2 micrometers in length and 0.5-1 micrometer in diameter. To put it into perspective, if you were to line up about 500 to 1000 E. coli bacteria side by side, they would span just one millimeter. This size is typical for bacterial cells, which are generally much smaller than human cells and are only visible under a microscope.
