These bacteria belong to the family Enterobacteriaceae.
According to the Beijing Genomics Institute, China in collaboration with German scientists, strains of E coli is a type of highly lethal and easily transmitted. "This is a unique strain that has not been isolated from patients before," said Hilde Kruse, food safety experts from the World Health Organization (WHO).
In the case in Europe is most casualties are women and youth. The German government found 470 cases of renal complications. It is feared this outbreak claimed more because up to now can not ascertain the source of transmission of the epidemic.
Escherichia coli form of large (2-3 mm), circular, convex and not berpigemn colonies on nutrient and blood media. Escherichia coli can survive up to temperatures of 60 ° C for 15 minutes or at 55 ° C for 60 minutes.

HUS is characterized by acute renal failure, anemia and deficiency of platelets. To neurological disorders including stroke and coma. It is estimated that up to about 10 percent of patients infected with EHEC will progress to HUS the mortality rate ranges between 3-5 percent.
