 | Longitudinal study on transmission of MRSA CC398 within pig herds |
|
Background
Since
the detection of MRSA CC398 in pigs in 2004, it has emerged in
livestock worldwide. MRSA CC398 has been found in people in contact
with livestock and thus has become a public health issue. Data from a
large-scale longitudinal study in two Danish and four Dutch pig herds
were used to quantify MRSA CC398 transmission rates within pig herds
and to identify factors affecting transmission between pigs.
Conclusions
Our
results indicate that MRSA CC398 is able to spread and persist in pig
herds, resulting in an endemic situation. Transmission rates are
affected by the use of selective antimicrobials and by the age of pigs. |
