💨 Abstract

A new salmonella outbreak linked to backyard poultry has sickened at least seven people across six states. The CDC is investigating, as the same strain of salmonella has been traced to hatcheries in the past. Salmonella bacteria cause about 1.35 million infections annually in the US, and backyard poultry can carry salmonella even when they appear healthy.
