摘要：In November 2008, a case of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) infection was reported to the Brisbane Southside Public Health Unit. The case had participated in a school camp. Subsequent investigations confirmed 5 other asymptomatic cases among camp attendees or visitors. Examination of the camp water sup-ply identified that most water sources had high levels of E. coli and did not meet the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines with STEC isolated from 2 water sources. This outbreak highlights the emerging issue of asymptomatic carriage of STEC and the importance of thorough maintenance and attention to drinking water supplies in the rural and school camp setting
