What structures allows E. Coli to move?

E. coli moves primarily through the use of flagella, which are long, whip-like appendages that rotate to propel the bacterium. Some E. coli strains also possess pili, short hair-like structures that can aid in movement by allowing the bacteria to "crawl" along surfaces through a process called twitching motility. These structures enable E. coli to navigate its environment effectively, which is crucial for its survival and pathogenicity.
