E. coli

I saw this interesting article today. It's about 'E. coli outbreak spreading in Germany'. http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_world/view/1131662/1/.html

I realised that E.coli is really a very deadly bacteria such that 'more than 270 people in Germany have fallen seriously ill' and that ' Two people have died'.

In addition, 'Enterohaemorrhagic E. coli causes haemolytic uraemic syndrome (HUS), which can result in acute renal failure, seizures, strokes and coma.'

I hope the authorities are able to find out the cause of the problem so that similar incident will not occur and those people will get well.
