WHO says E. coli strain responsible for European outbreak is new strain never detected before

[Peter Lemkin]

Wikipedia has an amazingly complete and comprehensible article on the disease here.

Some of the footnotes lead to articles on the genetic structure of the e.coli in question, see http://www.genomics.cn/en/news_show.php?...how&id=644 for the initial analysis, and http://www.biofortified.org/2011/06/natu...nnotation/
for the headline

Out of Germany, not Out of Africa the beastly German germ is a GMO whose parents have been around Germany for 10 years.

followed by a partly funny article partly written in "jabberwocky" which I admittedly failed to completely understand.
But there already seems to be a lot of information out there.

I can read that 'Jabberwocky'. It makes sobering reading...it say to me that this E. Coli strain was human built. It also is so deadly, that who ever didn't build it and would like a nice bioweapon on hand will soon get and grow it. The recipe is available on line. Unless someone has an antibiotic that will work on this one, say goodnight at some point in the not too distant future to most you know and see in the mirror in the morning. Once that were to get into the water supply or a ubiquitous food.....there wouldn't even be enough nurses and doctors unaffected to help you die.
