    Since early September, 192 cases
    associated with the Shiga toxin-producing E.
    coli (STEC) O157 gene have been confirmed in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
     
    It is understood that most of the patients are adults, but no deaths related to the incident have been reported
    .
     
    The source of the rise in infection has not yet been identified, but patients are being interviewed to help locate the vector
    .
    Nor have cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) been reported
    .
    HUS is a kidney failure associated with an E.
    coli infection that can lead to serious health problems and death
    for life.
     
    The head of the UK's Health and Safety Agency said ensuring handwashing with soap and water was the best way
    to stop the spread of the disease.
    When preparing food, make sure to wash salads, fruits and vegetables thoroughly and follow all meat safety cooking instructions
