[quote:lebewesen:MV8xNTE3MTYzXzI1MDIyNzM4X0JGODFCN0My] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1238594] But when you're talking recombinant genetics, which is what I've read about the e. coli bug, you're talking labs, not Mother Nature. [/quote] Nope. It's not that easy to say. In an intestine there are 100 billion - 1 trillion bacteria which can exchange genetic information. Considering the huge number of bacteria, it's not impossible. To put it in a nutshell: There is no fixed theory. It could be handmade, or it could be.. by mother nature.. [/quote]

"Mother Nature is the best bioterrorist," says infectious disease expert Larry Lutwick. "She's been at it longer, and she is better at it than anything people could pull off."
With an E. coli outbreak that started last month in Germany now responsible for more than 1,700 severe cases and 19 EM> deaths, biologists are only now getting a better look at Mother Nature's latest bit of busywork.
