Isn't it odd that an E. coli strain that normally is not resistant to various antibiotics and usually is not a human pathogen should suddenly be both in Germany? Could this be a form of bio-terrorism, or biological warfare? Maybe my paranoia needs to be treated.
A Wall Street Journal article of today is helpful. Molecular methods are really getting streamlined. This is amazing. Apparently an almost identical organism was found in 2001 but it didn't cause any discernible disease, and then, 10 years later, zaftig! It will be interesting to see how this story comes out.
This is a small experiment in the blogosphere. "If you have no interest in what it's like to grow old, what follows is not for you.
