EDMONTON, Alberta—A University of Alberta researcher has found a possible treatment for the E.coli strain that killed seven people in Walkerton, Ontario in 2000, and has just been linked to more than 200 illnesses in North Bay, Ontario.
David Bundle, chemistry professor and director of the Alberta Ingenuity Centre for Carbohydrate Science, has developed a polymeric drug that binds a naturally occurring protein in the body with the E.coli toxin, preventing it from affecting the kidneys.
