Butcher remains likely _E. coli_ source
------------------------------------
An investigation to establish the source of an _E. coli_ [O157 - Mod.LL]
outbreak in County Durham has now been completed.
The Outbreak Control Team, based at Durham's University Hospital, says the
results have strengthened the link between the cases and a butcher's shop
in Chester-le-Street.
Castle Bank butchers shop closed earlier this month after being linked to
the illness, but has since re-opened.
There have been 11 confirmed cases of _E. coli_ in the area.
