The E. coli outbreak that forced a Seattle restaurant to close its doors has now been linked to more illness in three other states.Health officials first encountered this particular strain of the bacteria, called O157:H7, when five people fell ill after eating at the Matador restaurant in August.Three of the people were hospitalized — and one of them, a 16-year-old girl, developed a kidney injury called hemolytic uremic syndrome.
