Th12L3

Th12L3 refers to a specific strain of the bacterium *Escherichia coli* (E. coli). *E. coli* is a common bacterium found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals, including humans. While many strains of *E. coli* are harmless and even beneficial, some can cause illness. Th12L3 is a designation used in scientific research and laboratory settings to identify and distinguish this particular isolate from others. Its specific characteristics, such as its genetic makeup, virulence factors, or antibiotic resistance profile, would be of interest to researchers studying *E. coli* biology, pathogenesis, or epidemiology. The "Th12" part of the name likely relates to a laboratory or collection designation, while "L3" could indicate a specific passage number, isolation source, or other identifier within that collection. Understanding the properties of specific strains like Th12L3 is crucial for developing targeted diagnostic tools, treatments, and public health strategies related to *E. coli* infections.
