Maybe........econiche or a variant vaccine could be used for human patients who have contracted the deadly 0104:H4 strain, since econiche works by reducing e.coli's ability to attach and multiply in the gut. Problem is, by the time it gets approved, something else may be more effective, and we'll all be dead from starvation(due to losses on BNC).
The E. coli strain that infected thousands in Germany, killing more than three dozen, has now been scrutinized by researchers who say the bug might have been so deadly because it combines the powers of two other types of E.coli — enabling it both to stick fast to the inside of the gut and to release a deadly toxin. This type of bacteria’s “stickiness” might abet the toxin’s absorption, leading to the unusually high number of cases of hemolytic-uremic syndrome, a potentially fatal kidney disorder, they report.
