E coli outbreak - travel?

I have a holiday booked in North Germany (Mainz, Cologne, Duesseldorf, Hamburg, Heiligendamm, Reuegen, Berlin) in 2 weeks. I'm worried about the E coli outbreak and wondering if anyone has any info on what it's like over there. As far as I know from the UK press, they don't know what has caused it but speculate that it's raw salad. However, it could be anything.

Any advice on whether I rebook elsewhere; go and ignore my worries, or go and worry about everything we eat? Also, if anyone knows which antibiotics this EHEC is susceptible to that would be useful.

Thanks
