More than two dozen people across 13 states have become ill with salmonella-linked food poisoning, some with antibiotic-resistant strains, between February and March, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.
Over a roughly one-month period, 34 people were infected with salmonella, mostly after coming into contact with backyard poultry such as chickens, ducks, turkeys or geese. Approximately 13 of the people infected were hospitalized as a result.
