Nearly 50 Queenslanders have contracted E. coli in an outbreak linked to the Ekka’s petting zoo.
Queensland Health said 49 people, including 31 children aged between one and 15, had contracted the Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC).
A 33-year-old Brisbane woman and three children, aged six, 11 and 12 – all from different families living in different suburbs – were the first to test positive to the potentially deadly bacteria on August 23.
