According to Dr. Debra Williams of the Madison County Health Department in Alabama, eight more individuals have tested positive for E. coli, bringing the total to 14 confirmed cases. Most of the victims are children or young adults, and five remain hospitalized. It is expected that more cases will be confirmed.
Dr. Williams also indicated that while the exact source of the bacteria has not been determined, most of the patients had eaten at Little Rosie's Taqueria on Whitesburg Drive in Huntsville in late June.
