Entamoeba coli,

a common nonpathogenic amebic parasite found in the intestines of humans and other mammals. It is similar to and sometimes confused with E. histolytica, the causal agent of amebic dysentery. However, E. coli organisms tend to be slightly larger, have more pseudopods, and be sluggish in movement.
