: Food Poisoning Law BlogColorado E. Coli Outbreak Still Growing
By PritzkerLaw
Denver Public Health has recorded another seven E. coli O157:H7 infections in Colorado, bringing the number of cases there to 27 in an ongoing outbreak.
Spokeswoman Dee Martinez told the Denver Post that the health agency's investigation is continuing. When the first 20 matching strains of E. coli O157:H7 were reported to the public on Feb. 6, Dr. Chris Urbina of Denver Public Health said the working hypothesis was that the cause could be related to the National Western Stock Show in Denver.
He said then that tests he hoped would help pinpoint the cause would likely be ready within a week, but no test results have been reported. Of the first 20 cases, 16 were children who had been to the 15-day livestock extravaganza.
