Posted Wed Nov 19 2008: from London Daily Mail: New superbug version of E.coli found on British dairy farm http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1227132574 A new superbug version of E.coli which could trigger life-threatening infections has been found on a dairy farm. The mutant strain of E.coli 026 is believed to have emerged as a result of the heavy use of antibiotics on farm animals. It is the first time it has been discovered in this country and only the third time it has been found anywhere in the world. The bug is similar to the infamous E.coli 0157 which has been implicated in fatal food poisoning outbreaks.
