The CDC was perplexed over the source of a multistate E. coli outbreak.

Sun Lena H. Sun National reporter focusing on health Email Bio Follow April 12 at 3:53 PM The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that E. coli-contaminated ground beef was the suspected culprit in an outbreak that infected at least 109 people in six states.
Reported illnesses come from states that share at least one border with another in this group: Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee and Georgia. This particular strain, E. coli O103, has been a relatively infrequent source of outbreaks. In 2010, an outbreak in Minnesota sickened 29 — one contamination among nearly 20 in the past two decades.
Major outbreaks of foodborne infections in the United States have more than tripled in the past 20 years, and the germs most frequently implicated are familiar to most Americans: salmonella, E. coli and listeria. From 2010 to 2014, the most recent five-year period, these multistate outbreaks were bigger and deadlier than in years past, causing more than half of all deaths related to contaminated-food outbreaks, according to a 2015 CDC report.
