BBC News - E. coli outbreak: German farm in Uelzen 'likely source'
German officials were awaiting results of tests on the farm's produce that would offer more conclusive proof.
The farm has been closed and Germans advised to stop eating beansprouts.
The agriculture minister for Lower Saxony, Gert Lindemann, said: "Further evidence has emerged which points to a plant nursery in Uelzen as the source of the EHEC cases, or at least one of the sources," he said.
Definite proof would depend on test results, but "a connection has been found involving all the main outbreaks".
...Mr Lindemann said the sprouts produced there are grown in temperatures of about 38C, "which is ideal for all bacteria".
