E. coli O145 Outbreak in Michigan, Ohio and New York Continues to Expand
E. coli O145 has sickened dozens of people in Michigan, Ohio and now New York.
Health officials have not released much information, but this is what is being reported by health departments and news sources:
- E. coli O145 cases in Michigan, Ohio and New York have been genetically linked, meaning the same food source probably made these people sick;
- The Ohio Department of Agriculture is testing four food samples and food items also are being tested in Michigan;
- Ground beef is not highly suspected in Michigan;
- Students at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio and the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan are among those sickened in the outbreak;
- The food that was contaminated with E. coli O145 was most likely served at restaurants, cafeterias and other eating establishments.
