:I absolutely agree.  Very surprised to find the name of this article is the abbreviated form and not the full name (it has apparently been moved again to "E. coli").  Even though it is more commonly called "E. coli" in the media and in common usage (perhaps because the genus is a pretty horrendous-looking word), the article should be the full name.

As a qualifier, compare with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - this is certainly more commonly abbreviated to MRSA in the media and in common use, but the article name writes it out in full.  I think this is the way it should be.  194.189.32.65
