A massive and unprecedented outbreak of bacterial infections linked to contaminated vegetables claimed two more lives in Europe on May 31, driving the death toll to 16. The number of sick rose to more than 1,150 people among at least eight nations. Nearly 400 people in Germany were battling a severe and potentially fatal version of an infection that attacks the kidneys. A U.S. expert said doctors had never seen so many cases of the condition, hemolytic uremic syndrome, tied to a food-borne illness outbreak before. (AP)
