Referral: McKenna On E. Coli

 

 

 

# 5649

 

This week we’ve seen a number of new journal articles on Germany’s EHEC outbreak, appearing in The Lancet , Eurosurveillance Journal, and the NEJM.

 

Maryn McKenna gives us an excellent walk-thru of their findings this morning in her SUPERBUG BLOG post:

Highly Recommended.

 

And for a terrific (ongoing) multi-part series on HUS (Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome) – a devastating complication in some toxic E. Coli infections - I would refer you to Tara C. Smith’s Aetiology Blog.
