Threat from ‘new E-coli’ - The Sunday Times 23rd September 2007

A new superbug that scientists believe is brought into Britain through the food chain is infecting about 30,000 people a year, according to government experts. Research has found that between 10% and 14% of those who are infected with the drug-resistant form of E-coli die within 30 days of catching the bug, which would suggest 3,000-4,200 deaths. This would be double the number of deaths from MRSA.
