捕捉德国变种大肠杆菌元凶的过程充满戏剧性:西班牙黄瓜刚被洗清罪名,德国健康部门7月5日又宣布,肠出血性大肠杆菌疫情传染源之谜已经破解,2009年从埃及进口的胡芦巴(一种豆科草本植物)种子,被认定是德国和法国疫情的源头。但第二天埃及农业检疫部门就声明否认,称埃及出口的葫芦巴种子都通过了各国卫生检疫机构的严格检查,而且当年出口的都是干种子,细菌不可能存活两年。至本刊截稿时止,此次欧洲肠出血性大肠杆菌疫情已造成包括德国在内的17个国家、超过4000人感染,其中48起死亡案例发生在德国,瑞典、美国、法国各有1人死亡。
The process of capturing the culprit of the German variant Escherichia coli is full of drama: Spanish cucumbers have just been laundered. The German health authorities announced on July 5 that the mystery of the source of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli has been cracked. In 2009, Pakistan (a leguminous plant) seeds, was identified as the source of the outbreak in Germany and France. However, on the second day, the Egyptian agricultural quarantine department denied that the fenugreek seeds exported by Egypt have all passed strict inspections by the health and quarantine agencies in various countries and exported dry seeds that year. Bacteria can not survive for two years. By the time of publication, the European outbreak of enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli has infected over 4000 people in 17 countries, including Germany. Among them, 48 deaths occurred in Germany, Sweden, the United States and France death.
