Multistate outbreaks of salmonellosis linked to contact with backyard poultry—United States, 2015–2022

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Contact with backyard poultry (i.e., privately-owned, non-commercial poultry) was first associated with a multistate outbreak of salmonellosis in 1955. In recent years, backyard poultry-associated salmonellosis outbreaks have caused more illnesses in the United States than salmonellosis outbreaks linked to any other type of animal. Here, we describe the epidemiology of outbreaks from 2015-2022 to inform prevention efforts.
