WASHINGTON -- E. coli, the bacteria family that prompted the nation's largest hamburger recall, has been genetically decoded by researchers, who say the discovery could lead to new drugs or even vaccines against certain food poisonings.

A team led by Frederick Blattner, a geneticist at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, has sequenced and mapped the 4,288 genes contained in the 4.6 million base pairs of DNA in a common l...
