During an outbreak of food poisoning at a church camp, 16 of the 25 people attending were affected. Despite a thorough search for a bacterial pathogen none was identified. An examination of the Escherichia coli serotypes present suggest that E. coli O159. H9 may have been the organism causing the outbreak.
