During the past few weeks, a significant increase in the number of patients as a result of eating salad infected with E.Coli has been reported in Europe, especially in Germany.
The Executive Vice President Corporate Communications of Springer Science+Business Media, said, "As a global scientific, technical and medical publisher, Springer plays a major role in the distribution of scientific information and access to knowledge and research. Therefore we are making all studies, published up to now on the E. coli bacteria, freely available online on SpringerLink. By doing this, we hope to play a small part in helping researchers and medical professionals solve, or at the very least alleviate, this crisis."
Springer Science+Business Media is offering all journal articles and book chapters which deal with the E. coli bacteria free of charge at SpringerLink. The articles can be found by using the search terms "Enterohaemorrhagic and Escherichia and coli".
A total of over 400 scientific articles are available to print out or download from now until 1 September 2011. The articles which are available free of charge concern the better-known and less aggressive strain E. coli 0157:H7.
