Yes, Escherichia coli (E. coli) is indeed classified as gram-negative rods. This means that when stained using the Gram stain technique, E. coli bacteria appear pink or red under a microscope. Gram-negative bacteria have a thin layer of peptidoglycan in their cell walls and an outer membrane, which gives them their characteristic staining pattern. E. coli is a common bacterium found in the intestines of humans and animals and can sometimes cause infections, particularly when strains with harmful properties are present.
