China and Germany join forces to uncover " The poisonous cucumber " The arch-criminal - new virus includes the fatal gene
World Health Organization says on the 2nd, large-scale enterorrhagia Escherichia coli (EHEC) of Europe The epidemic situation is by one kind " The high and infective, poisonous new virus " Initiation. On the same day, European prevention from suffering from the diseases and control centre confirm " pathogen " Congratulate Escherichia coli of toxin (STEC) in order to produce the will . Containing the fatal gene will harmful to WHO and say on the same day on the adult, it shows that the preliminary gene is arranged in an order, the new virus is the variants of two kinds of different Escherichia coli, includes the fatal gene. The security expert of food of WHO Heald and Croosier tells Associated Press' reporter, " this is a kind of unique virus " ,Compared with a lot of Escherichia coli virus carried in the human body naturally, the new virus has " many kinds of characteristics, enrich it with the mortality, apter to produce the toxin " . Croosier says, as to bacterium, it is not rare to evolve and exchange situations with genes continuously, " a lot of flowability exists in microorganism's world " . However, it is difficult to explain this new virus source at the present stage. She says, the virus that some mankind and animal carried together exchange genes easily, for example the mankind will be infected with the animal virus at some time " Ebola " . " should consider (new Escherichia coli) Animal's source. A lot of animals carry Escherichia coli of many kinds of toxin. " Researchers query before, this epidemic situation may come from planting the vegetables with the fertilizer polluted. The patient is mainly old man and children in some Escherichia coli epidemic situations to compare before, the patient is mainly an adult, especially women this time. Croosier says, the new virus may have " some characteristics " ,Make it have danger for adult even more. Croosier says, perhaps some patients have relatively light symptom, do not seek medical advice. So, the difficult scale of this epidemic situation of precise statistics of the authorities, " we do not know that receive the number of the infected specifically, it is difficult to prove(virus of such new Escherichia coli) How loudly it will be harmfulness" . Sino-German scientists jointly uncover arch-criminals It is reported (reporter Zhao LinLin) The big genetic research institute of China of Shenzhen released the press release and claimed a few days ago, this institutes and Germany Hamburg university medical colleges, jointly study to announce with the control centre and military microbial epidemic disease research institute of academy of medical sciences Germany's epidemic situation is has a super and toxic one by a new kind of in prevention from suffering from the diseases of China Escherichia coli caused. Big genetic person in charge of research institute propaganda department Yang BiCheng in China of Shenzhen interviewed by staff reporter and discussed this bacterium yesterday. Guangzhou Daily: Why cause the death case in the persons who infect this Escherichia coli this time? Yang BiCheng: The analysis which we carry on in terms of genome, have pathogenic gene of many kinds of Escherichia coli to find the virus of Escherichia coli found this time. It have some person who bleed Escherichia coli pathogenic generally; Also what some other Escherichia coli have are able to bear nature, it is a more complicated phenotype, bacterium of the new Escherichia coli. We did not find in the past, had not almost seen in disclosing the media to report in this kind of characteristic, it is a newer bacterium. Guangzhou Daily: Will you please recommend making danger of group of this kind of fungus? Yang BiCheng: This bacterium is infective, have not confirmed its origin yet either now. Because it is special pathogenic, have not found the pointed medicine yet now, so without effective curing the method, have not found effective therapeutic method either yet to relieve the disease, and control the spreading of epidemic situation, at this point, this may be a question letting people relatively worry about. Guangzhou Daily: This bacterium is infective, what if it infect the route? Yang BiCheng: This is the question remaining to be confirmed too. Need clinical data analysis, analyze situation of patient, from angle of epidemiology to confirm his spread route, so, it is unable to draw a conclusion now. And our research work mainly concentrates on the science of heredity respect, analyze it in terms of gene, so can't confirm yet at present it infects the route. Guangzhou Daily: Why we call it epidemic situation this time, why will Germany have such many people to infect this bacterium. Yang BiCheng: Not confirming his great reason to get rich quick yet now, its origin has not been appraised clear either, the reason why to called the epidemic situation is because its speed that breaks out and spreads is all very fast, has already begun to spread to the other European countries from Germany now, including finding some suspected cases in U.S.A., and already caused personnel's losses. Guangzhou Daily: What differences do such new Escherichia coli bacterium and ordinary Escherichia coli have? Yang BiCheng: It not have it with before there find is Escherichia coli many kinds of, it has pathogenic genes, toxicant; In addition it has one's own one that is able to bear nature, since it can attack to the outside, can also protect oneself, so is more complicated, it is more difficult to go to pay diagnosing. Generally speaking, perhaps characteristics are different in one's own characteristics that have Escherichia coli, each Escherichia coli, some have some one pathogenic gene, and the Escherichia coli of new discovery may some pathogenic gene to pass transgenics, get from other Escherichia coli, so cause it to become a more complicated hybrid Escherichia coli.
