The CDC, as well as state health officials, and investigators from the Department of Agriculture and Food and Drug Administration, are still trying to trace the source of the outbreak, which began last September. The particular strain involved in this outbreak is Salmonella typhimurium, which commonly infects poultry, cheese and eggs.
