Stephanie Lucka nurses her 12-year-old son Johannes in his room at the Eppendorf university clinic (UKE) on June 1, 2011 in Hamburg where some 20 children and some 60 adult patients are hospitalised, after they have fallen ill to the virulent E.coli bacteria which has so far killed 16 in Germany. Scientists and health officials say they have identified the E. coli bacteria (EHEC) responsible for the outbreak, which has mainly affected northern Germany, but are unable to say what caused it or who was responsible.
