Who created the e coli strain in Europe?
All signs point to man-made origin
Over 20 people dead and over 2,100 ill, many gravely.
Where did this strain of e coli come from?
It's never been seen before.
It is immune to eight different classes of antibiotics.
This means the original strain was exposed to eight different strains sequentially with each immune strain being exposed to the next drug until immunity was developed to that.
This only happens in laboratories.
What laboratory did this, how did it end up on a German sprout factory - and most importantly, why was this done?
The last question will be answered when new laws and new technologies are imposed to "solve" the problem.
