E. coli outbreak is a new strain
The World Health Organization says the E. coli outbreak in Germany is a completely new strain of the bacteria.

The infection can cause the deadly complication - haemolytic-uraemic syndrome (HUS) - affecting the blood and kidneys.

More than 1,500 people have been infected and 17 have died: 16 in Germany and one in Sweden.

In the UK, three British nationals have been infected - all had visited Germany.

Aphaluck Bhatiasevi, a WHO spokesperson, is reported as saying: "This strain has never been seen in an outbreak situation before."

Scientists at the Beijing Genomics Institute, in China, are also reported as saying: "This E.coli is a new strain of bacteria that is highly infectious and toxic."

Preliminary genetic analysis of the outbreak suggests the bacteria is unique.

Mystery of 'sexist' E. coli strain


One of the mysteries about the outbreak of the particularly vicious strain of E. coli is that most of the victims have been women.

In most outbreaks, the victims are children because they have not developed the immune system to fight off the food poisoning - but in the German case, it is adults and female adults, in particular.

Scientists simply do not know why.

One theory was that the victims were often people who liked eating what they thought was healthy food, say because it was low calorie (like cucumbers) or because it was organic.

Re: E. coli outbreak is a new strain
The E.coli which has struck down four more people in the UK after killing 17 across Europe is a new strain which has not been seen before, experts say.

Early investigations suggest the strain is a mutant form of two different E.coli bacteria and appears to be more virulent than other strains.

"This E.coli is a new strain of bacteria that is highly infectious and toxic," scientists at the Beijing Genomics Institute in China, who are working with teams in Germany, said.

Hilde Kruse, a food safety expert at the World Health Organisation, added: "This is a unique strain that has never been isolated from patients before."

The E.coli bacteria under the microscope

The Health Protection Agency (HPA) confirmed the new cases in the UK as it urged British families to wash their fruit and vegetables.

It takes the number of infections in Britain to seven after three other cases surfaced soon after the outbreak in northern Germany in mid-May.

The HPA said three of those infected in the UK had been struck with the more severe hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) - a rare and lethal complication arising from infection associated with E.coli.

Some have said it could take months before the origin is found, while others say it may never surface.

The deadly E.coli bacteria has infected more than 1,500 people across Europe with cases reported in Sweden, Spain, the Netherlands, Austria, Denmark, Norway and Switzerland as well as the UK and Germany.

Russia bans European vegetables over infection risk

As German doctors are looking for the source of the deadly bacterial intestinal disease, Russia has decided to ban the import of all fresh vegetables from Europe.

The temporary ban imposed Thursday enhances the previous regulation, which only covered cucumbers imported from Spain and Germany. Cucumbers were believed to be behind the pathogenic strain of E. Coli, but the assumption was later proved wrong.

The ban will be in force for as long as is necessary to protect Russian residents from the poisoning risk, Russia’s sanitary regulator said. The initial import restriction was imposed on Monday.

The European Commission deems the ban of all vegetables “disproportionate” and is to send an official request to clarify the situation to the Russian watchdog in a matter of days, said a spokesman for the EU Commissioner for public health, John Dalli.

no, it's a common, but didn't cause outbreaks so far. In some cases only dangerous for young kids, never for grown ups until now.

DEHP-tainted food products from Taiwan banned in mainland restaurants

BEIJING, June 2 The Chinese mainland has banned its restaurants from selling or using beverages, food products and food additives from Taiwan, which are suspected to have been tainted with a cancer-causing plastic additive.

The State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) issued an urgent notice Thursday, ordering all restaurants not to purchase or use food and food additives that have been placed on the list publicized by quality suvervision authorities.
