Karen Morrisroe-Clutton, 32, and a vegetarian, had to be placed in a medically-induced coma after contracting a serious strain of the infection.A three-year-old girl is also being treated for renal failure at Alder Hey children's hospital in Liverpool, after contracting E.coli 0157.

Two other people have been diagnosed with E.coli but not admitted to hospital, and the outbreak is being linked to a takeaway restaurant in the village of Llay near Wrexham.

Paul Clutton, husband of Karen, said she had eaten a vegetarian burger from Ali´s Takeaway in Llay a week before falling ill.

Mrs Morrisroe-Clutton´s mother, Rose said: “Karen´s health has improved slightly but she is not out of danger yet.”

An official closure notice was put on the door of the small takeaway shop which read that the business had been “implicated in an outbreak of food poisoning.”

Mrs Morrisroe-Clutton developed diarrhoea, sickness and then began passing blood, which turned out to be the most virulent form of E.coli 0157.

She was immediately admitted to hospital suffering dehydration, followed by seizures. Her breathing stopped temporarily. After a marginal improvement, the sedation was lightened on Saturday.

Said Mr Clutton: "I said something to her and she opened her eyes and tried to respond, which the doctors said was a good sign.
