WHO: E. coli outbreak caused by new strain.
By MARIA CHENG and NATALIYA VASILYEVA, Associated Press – 1 min ago
LONDON – The World Health Organization said Thursday that the E. coli bacteria responsible for a deadly outbreak that has left 18 dead and sickened hundreds in Europe is a new strain that has never been seen before.
Preliminary genetic sequencing suggests the strain is a mutant form of two different E. coli bacteria, with lethal genes that could explain why the Europe-wide outbreak appears to be so massive and dangerous, the agency said.
