E. Coli Outbreak From Sprouts, German Investigators Say - ABC News
I don't trust this finding. Sprouts are not grown in soil, but in water, which means the water source had to be contaminated. - maybe from a ground source, like a well. If so, that still points to livestock contaminating the ground water via run off.
E. coli doesn't just mutate into more lethal forms, it has to be stimulated by human practices and that means anti-biotics and crowded farms.
The direct link has to go back to industrial farming conditions and I feel this investigation has not really explored or explained the origins.
