Some More Thoughts About the German E. coli Outbreak
After Friday's post, I've held off on writing much about the German E. coli outbreak, often referred to by its serotype, O104:H4, or as HUSEC041 (HUS stands for hemolytic uremic syndrome). Having had the weekend to digest some of the ongoing analysis and news reports, here are some additional…
Public Data, Publishing, Priority, and Public Health
Update/clarification: I want to clarify something critical. This is not about picking on a researcher or a country. It very well could have happened in the U.S. or anywhere else. I, nor you the reader, have any idea about the internal constraints these groups experience, or what was communicated…
Are Bean Sprouts the End of Organic Farming? Nah.
My current favorite news story is one by Reuters about an outbreak of e,coli in Germany attributed to organically grown bean sprouts with the ridiculous headline "E. Coli Outbreak Poses Questions for Organic Farming." Now it is absolutely true that there is a nasty outbreak of e.coli in Germany…
I Don't Think the German Outbreak E. coli Strain Is Novel: Something Very Similar Was Isolated Ten Years Ago...
...in Europe. I'll get to that in a moment. You've probably heard of the E. coli outbreak sweeping through Germany and now other European countries that has caused over one thousand cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome ('HUS'). What's odd is that the initial reports are calling this a novel hybrid…
