The outbreak

The 1993 Jack in the Box E. coli outbreak occurred when 732 people were infected with the Escherichia coli O157:H7 bacterium originating from undercooked beef patties in hamburgers. The outbreak involved 73 Jack in the Box restaurants in California, Idaho, Washington, Nevada, Louisiana, and Texas and has been described as "far and away the most infamous food poison outbreak in contemporary history. The majority of the victims were children aged under 10-years old. Four children died and 178 other victims were left with permanent injury including kidney and brain damage.

171 people required hospitalization. The majority of the victims who presented symptoms and were clinically diagnosed (but not hospitalized) were children aged under 10 years old.

45 of the infected children required hospitalization, of whom 38 suffered serious kidney problems and 21 required dialysis.

4 children died

6-year-old Lauren Beth Rudolph of Southern California, who died on December 28, 1992, due to complications of an E. coli O157:H7 infection later tied to the same outbreak.

2-year-old Michael Nole of Tacoma, WA, who died on January 22, 1993.

2-year-old Celina Shribbs of Mountlake Terrace, WA, who died on January 28, 1993. She became ill due to a secondary contact transmission from another child sick with E. coli.

As a direct result of the outbreak

E. coli O157:H7 was upgraded to become a reportable disease at all state health departments

the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) increased the recommended internal temperature for cooked hamburgers from 140 °F (60 °C) to 155 °F (68 °C)

7.Conclusion

Consumer Reports purchased 300 packages of ground beef,totaling 458 pounds (208kg) from 103 stores in 26 American cities.The watchdog group and publication bought meat at grocery stores,big-box outlets and natural food stores and included conventional beef (raised in feedlots with antibiotics and hormones,and fed a diet of mostly grain and soy);more sustainably produced beef (in this report,that meant that at minimum,the beef was raised without antibiotics);as well as organic and grass-fed varieties.

Americans love burgers

US restaurants served 8.9 billion burgers in the year ending in June 2015, says NPD Group. More than half of Americans—57%—eat at least one burger every week, according to the research firm Technomic.

Treatments for E. coli infection

There is no cure for E. coli O157:H7, it has to run its course. Most doctors advise patients to get plenty of rest and drink lots of water to prevent dehydration.

The patient should avoid taking OTC medications for diarrhea, as this can slow down the digestive system, undermining the body's ability to eliminate the toxins efficiently.

What causes an E. coli intestinal infection?

1.The full name of E. coli is Escherichia coli. Escherichia is named after Theodor Escherich, a German pediatrician who discovered it in 1885. Coli means “from the colon” and is used because it is commonly found in the colon of mammals (including humans).

2.It takes only 40 hours for E. coli (obtained from caregiver, milk, water) to completely colonize the gut of a newborn baby.

3.Not all E. coli are harmful to human. Most are e_coliharmless and some are even beneficial to humans. They help in synthesizing Vitamin K and B complex and prevent harmful bacteria from colonizing the gut. They also assist in food digestion and absorption.

You get an E. coli infection by coming into contact with the feces, or stool, of humans or animals. This can happen when you drink water or eat food that has been contaminated by feces.

Prevention of E. coli infection

What is an E. coli infection?

1.Cook meat well - especially ground meat.

2.Drinks - pasteurized milk, apple juice, and cider are safer than unpasteurized.

3.Wash vegetables - especially leafy green ones. Washing thoroughly might not protect you completely, but it helps.

4.Store foods separately - use separate cutting boards, do not store raw ground beef right next to other foods.

E. coli (Escherichia coli) is the name of a germ, or bacterium, that lives in the digestive tracts of humans and animals.There are many types of E. coli, and most of them are harmless. But some can cause bloody diarrhea. Some strains of E. coli bacteria (such as a strain called O157:H7) may also cause severe anemia or kidney failure, which can lead to death.

Particular bacterial strain can release a toxin that damages the lining of the intestine, often leading to abdominal cramps, bloody diarrhea, vomiting, and in some cases, life-threatening kidney damage. Though the contaminated meat was discovered by the meat-packing company’s inspectors before any cases of food poisoning were reported, we haven’t always been so lucky.

Indeed, food poisoning outbreaks and recalls of bacteria-tainted ground beef are all too frequent. Just before the July 4 holiday this year, 13.5 tons of ground beef and steak destined for restaurants and other food-service operations were recalled on a single day because of possible contamination with a dangerous bacteria known as E. coli O157:H7.

All meat potentially contains bacteria that—if not destroyed by proper cooking—can cause food poisoning, but some meats are more risky than others. Beef, and especially ground beef, has a combination of qualities that can make it particularly problematic—and the consequences of eating tainted beef can be severe.
