An outbreak of a potentially lethal bacteria at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot appears to have peaked, with dozens of recruits being released from a hospital Tuesday, the depot's commanding officer said.

"We do have good news to report. There were no hospital admissions today, " Maj. Gen. Jan Huly said.

Only 24 people were expected to remain hospitalized Wednesday, he said.

Since the outbreak was discovered last week, more than 100 recruits were hospitalized, many for upper respiratory ailments that Huly said were not necessarily related to Strep A.
