The E. coli bug responsible for a deadly recent outbreak in Germany has been passed from human to human for the first time.
Health officials say the discovery was made at a catering company near Frankfurt.
Authorities say a woman working in a kitchen of a catering company became infected with the virus after eating sprouts and passed it on to 20 people she prepared food for.
The bacteria has so far killed almost 40 people.
