WASHINGTON -- A type of E. coli related to the bacteria that prompted the nation's largest hamburger recall has been genetically mapped, a major step toward finding new drugs or vaccines against certain food poisonings, researchers say.
In a report published today in the journal Science, a team led by Frederick Blattner of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, announced the sequencing and mapping of the 4,288 genes contained in the ...
