Update on investigations into E. coli O157 outbreak at Brecon
Hywel Dda Health Board | Update on investigations into E. coli O157 outbreak
Public Health Wales and colleagues in three local authorities and the Health Protection Agency are continuing to investigate an outbreak of E. coli O157 possibly linked to a petting farm in Brecon.
The results of microbiological tests have shown that two children confirmed with E. coli O157 have the same type of infection – meaning that they must have acquired their illness from the same source.
Both children had visited Cantref Adventure Farm in the days before they became unwell, and both are recovering at home.
