CDC search for cause of E. coli outbreak

June 7, 2012 (WLS) -- The search is on for the cause of a deadly outbreak of E. coli after about a dozen cases were detected across Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Louisiana.

It's believed all of the victims have been sickened by the same strain of E. coli.

Not all strains are dangerous but this one is.

It can cause violent reactions, kidney damage and death.
