食品伙伴网讯 据美国食品安全新闻网消息，近日由美国墨西哥风味连锁餐厅Chipotle's食物中毒引发的大肠杆菌O26疫情在美国蔓延，导致20人住院。
根据英国相关研究，10年前大肠杆菌O26和大肠杆菌0157的健康风险就已经基本持平，4年前美国农业部将其列为6个最常见的大肠杆菌致病菌之一。
美国疾病预防和控制中心（CDC）称，近两年来由大肠杆菌O26引发的食物中毒事件明显增多，在未来可能引发更多的疫情，尤其是引发溶血性尿毒综合症的病例数量可能会远超过大肠杆菌O157。
部分原文报道如下：
“When you're only No. 2, you try harder,” was Avis' slogan for 50 years. It could be picked up at some point in the future by E. coli 026, the pathogen that has sickened Chipotle customers in nine states.
It's been just a dozen years since 026 began to get recognition as a new killer strain of E. coli that could become a serious health threat in the United States. To illustrate the point, Dr. Mark Stevens of the Institute for Animal Health in the United Kingdom said a decade ago that 026 was already as dangerous as E. coli O157.
