E. Coli Holds Grip on Germany, Europe
This deadly food borne bacteria produces Shiga toxin which causes haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) or kidney failure. So far 17 deaths has been reported due to this infection across Europe.
World Health Organization (WHO) has requested the nations to not to put trade restrictions against these countries as a measure of prevention. However, Russia and Belgium has stopped doing food trade with Spain and Germany, whereas India is respecting WHO’s decisions.
E coli bacteria is a very common bacteria and some strains of it can be found in human intestine which some says are good for digestion. But it can be dangerous as well, in medieval days European women used to feed their child without properly cleaning their hands after using toilet thus passing this bacteria in child’s stomach this was the reason of massive Cholera outbreak.
In most of the urine infection cases E coli bacteria is found the main reason. This infection can be cured with the normal dose of Anti Biotics.
Humans acquire the infection by consuming contaminated food or water. Following an incubation period of about 3-4 days, a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms appear, ranging from mild to severe bloody diarrhoea, mostly without fever. The one causing infection now is a highly virulent mutated strain.
Steps taken by Indian Government to Avoid E Coli Outbreak
The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) is taking measure by asking its official to take extra care in checking on all international ports and four airports which receive food imports from these countries. All the food items will be sent to the Authority’s lab for testing before releasing into Indian markets.
