THE CANADIAN STATESMAN, JUNE 27,2001 PAGE 11 No new cases of E. coli in Durham: health department DURHAM - Although the number of long-term care facilities facilities impacted by an outbreak of E. coli in Durham Region has increased increased in recent weeks, the local health department reports there have been no new cases here. Glendene Collins, spokesman for the Durham Region Region Health Department, said Monday the investigation into the outbreak of ESBL E. coli is "still ongoing". She also noted 10 local facilities facilities are involved in that investigation investigation at this time.

However, Ms. Collins reports although that number has risen to 31, the number of deaths that' "may be attributable to ESBL" remains at four. She explains when a person is colonized, that means they are a carrier of the bacteria but are not ill.
