CDC, public health and regulatory officials in several states, and the FDA, investigated a multistate outbreak of Salmonella Telekebir infections. As of February 24, 2026, the CDC has declared the multistate outbreak of Salmonella Telelkebir linked to raw oysters over. The investigation confirmed 80 infections across 23 states between June 21, 2025, and December 22, 2025, resulting in 34 hospitalizations, though no deaths were reported. Illnesses started on dates ranging from June 21, 2025, to December 22, 2025. Of 68 people with information available, 34 (50%) were hospitalized. No deaths were reported. Of the 43 people interviewed, 26 (60%) reported eating raw oysters. WGS showed that bacteria from samples from sick people were closely related genetically. This suggests that people in this outbreak got sick from the same food. Based on WGS, bacteria from 80 people's samples did not predict resistance to any antibiotics. @ https://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/outbreaks/oysters-12-25/investigation.html
