Research into the Disease
Peole can Ehec transgered to food
The crisis worsened again Ehec: Laboratory tests have confirmed the suspicion of dangerous pathogens that can be transmitted to humans by food. But again, most consumers eat cucumber, lettuce and tomato. 
Ehec the pathogen can be transmitted to humans by food. Appropriate laboratory tests had confirmed suspicions, said the Ministry of Social and consumers in Wiesbaden. Accordingly, the findings demonstrate that the hazardous Ehec germ has been in a particular case in Hesse actually transferred from one employee to food catering. As a result 20 people were infected with the dangerous variant of EHEC pathogens. How accurate is the germ of the food came, and whether there is a hygiene problem in the operation, will now be examined, said the spokesman for the district of Kassel, Harald Kühlborn. Possible, is that an infected object of utility operation played a role.

DISPLAY The employee of the caterers had the test results, according to the life-threatening bacterial infection, as she dishes for a family party in Lower Saxony prepared. But she had shown no symptoms of disease. The evidence suggests that they carried the germ of many foodstuffs. Later she developed the complication caused by Ehec Hus (hemolytic-uremic syndrome), which was detected even at 20 after the celebration of 65 guests. When Hus can occur including kidney damage and neurological disorders.
Unlike in this case the number of reported cases in Germany, according to Robert Koch Institute is declining for about a week. Accordingly, to Thursday 3408 cases of illness were reported to Ehec or Hus. North Rhine-Westphalia on Friday an additional deaths were reported, it was the 39th Deaths since the outbreak of the epidemic.


  Unbridled pathogens: What triggers the body Ehec
 In addition, the pathogen was corrosive Ehec O104: H4 demonstrated on Friday in a creek in Frankfurt. The Erlenbach is a few hundred meters away from a farm on which was recently discovered on the pathogen Ehec lettuce samples, as a spokesman for the Hessian Ministry of Environment said. A combination of the stream for drinking water supply exists but no. Two houses adjacent to the water use the water but for irrigation of potatoes, sugar beet and starch potatoes. It was prohibited the courts now. Gardeners from the area of ​​the stream were asked not to eat with stream water watered fruit and vegetables.
As the seeds were released into the creek, according to the Ministry is still unclear. Since the samples were collected near a sewage treatment plant, was not ruled out that he had come from there in the stream water. Assay results from two other samples taken from the stream will be available only in two to three days. From swimming in streams and rivers of Hesse advised the authorities on principle. Also to drink their water was unfit. It is still unclear whether any will reach significant concentrations in rivers of the pathogen.
No centralized control of foodstuffs
The blocked due Ehec sprouts organic farm in Lower Saxony Bienenbüttel will remain closed. "Before we give him free again, all samples are evaluated," said a spokesman for the Ministry of Agriculture in Hanover. This would "at least several days to several weeks" take. It is still unclear how the life-threatening pathogens is reached on the rungs of the organic farm. The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment recommends further from the consumption of raw sprouts, raw as well from home-grown sprouts and seedlings.
Was found that the pathogen on an organic farm just means the view of Federal Agriculture Minister Ilse Aigner (CSU) no setback for the organic agriculture. "But it was always clear: Organic foods are not healthier or safer per se," Aigner said the "Berliner Zeitung".
The arisen through the Ehec crisis calls for centralization of the food inspection rejected Aigner. "Whoever calls such a thing has no idea." It was important that authorities know the exact operations to be checked. For this work they would need on site. To deal with a crisis it is vital that the information would be well taken internally. Aigner but admitted that it would be worthwhile, "the communication to think outside".
Important messages are delivered by mail, not via e-mail
As a consequence of the epidemic Ehec wants federal Health Minister Daniel Bahr (FDP) to improve the reporting system. "We need to change the reporting procedure to the modern communication facilities, so that the information on how to develop the numbers of patients, are more readily available," said the FDP politician of the "Rheinische Post". It is incomprehensible why important messages were sent by mail in such a situation. The notification system for Ehec is an issue of the Health Ministers meeting on 29 and 30 Be June.
Criticism of the crisis management of the policy but pointed Bahr back. The work of the ministries and their specialized institutions, he specifically praised for its "well-founded recommendations and information." The health care in the hospitals have worked well.
Uncertainty abroad
Meanwhile, collected from Russia serious allegations against the German authorities. These have failed in the attempt, "the source of the highly contagious E. coli in the human food chain of evidence," it said from the state veterinary supervision, according to the Interfax news agency in Moscow. Because Ehec Russia had decided in early June a ban on vegetables from all 27 EU states. The veterinary supervision was "gravely concerned" and wants to ask German veterinarians to discuss the reasons for the epidemic to Moscow. Possible dates for the talks are the 27th and 28 June, it said.
From France, was on Friday, however sometimes given all-clear. At least seven children have fallen ill after eating there, hamburger patties from severe diarrhea and are now on symptoms of E. coli infection studied. Identified as the source of infection patties were produced in France and marketed by Lidl. However, there is no connection to the Ehec cases in Germany, it was said by the authorities. The Italian Health Ministry was still more than 97 tons of hamburger patties and meatballs, which were distributed by the Italian branch of Lidl confiscate, and ordered laboratory tests.
Relaxation among consumers

Display unit of the food industry could Ehec crisis have begun to rethink. You notice a heightened interest in new treatment techniques for food, said Volker Heinz, director of the German Institute of Food Technology in Quakenbrück, the news agency dpa. In his words, for example, meat producers to think about investing in a method according to which one can make raw foods by high-pressure sterilized without heating. Until this process is due to its relatively high costs in Germany not very common.
In the Quakenbrück for several years tested high-pressure process to kill germs and viruses to make them harmless. "The freshness is retained characteristics of the goods," says the scientist. One could also imagine to undergo sprouts, which are the source of the epidemic is suspected, such a treatment.
In Germany, the reports of the decline in new infections in Ehec have meanwhile apparently caused by consumers for relaxation. A survey by the Emnid institute on behalf of the "Bild am Sonntag", according to eating a large majority of Germans (85 percent) now back cucumbers, lettuce and tomato. Because these vegetables were temporarily suspected to be carriers of the disease, they were spurned for a time. Only 15 percent of the 500 respondents continue to waive principle on the vegetables.
