During penetration of E. coli by the T4 phage. lysozyme is used to allow entry of the phage capsid. the tail acts as a hypodermic needle, injecting the phage DNA into the cell. the protein fibers digest a hole in the cell wall. the bacterial receptor molecules open a hole through the cell wall.

Some E. coli bacteria are contagious while others are not, depending on the E. coli strain and/or the infection type. Some strains that cause gastrointestinal problems (enteropathogenic E. coli) can be transmitted person-to-person, usually by the oral/fecal route, and even indirectly by contaminated food or water.asual contact (shaking hands, kissing) will not usually transmit E. coli person to person.
