The CDC reported that Public health officials are investigating multistate outbreaks of Salmonella illnesses linked to contact with backyard poultry. Since the CDC's previous update on May 5, 2025, the CDC has confirmed 97 new cases, bringing the total number of cases to 104. Twenty-five of the outbreak patients required hospitalization, and one patient died in Illinois. The number of affected states rose from 6 to 35. Pennsylvania has reported the most cases (14), followed by Colorado (9), Tennessee (8), Illinois (7), and Virginia (6). Illness-onset dates range from February 9 to May 3. All but 8% of patients are White, and 52% are male. The CDC said that the outbreak strains have been linked to two hatcheries. WGS showed that the Salmonella Mbandaka found in these samples was the outbreak strain making people ill. @ https://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/outbreaks/mbandaka-05-01/index.html#cdc_outbreak_main_source-backyard-poultry-and-salmonella
