Journal ArticleDOI
Multilocus Sequence Typing Scheme for Enterococcus faecium
Wieger L. Homan,David Tribe,Simone Poznanski,Mei Li,Geoff Hogg,Emile Spalburg,Jan D. A. van Embden,Rob J. L. Willems +7 more
TL;DR: The MLST results suggest that epidemic lineages of E. faecium emerged recently worldwide, while genetic variation in both VREF and VSEF was created by longer-term recombination.
Journal ArticleDOI
Community-acquired MRSA and pig-farming.
X. W. Huijsdens,Beatrix J van Dijke,Emile Spalburg,Marga G van Santen-Verheuvel,Max Heck,Gerlinde N. Pluister,Andreas Voss,Wim J. B. Wannet,Albert J. de Neeling +8 more
TL;DR: A MRSA cluster among family members of a pig-farmer, his co-workers and his pigs shows clonal spread and transmission between humans and pigs in the Netherlands and puts the until now successful Search and Destroy policy of the Netherlands at risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strains between different kinds of pig farms.
E. van Duijkeren,R. Ikawaty,M.J. Broekhuizen-Stins,Marc D. Jansen,Emile Spalburg,A J de Neeling,Janneke G. Allaart,A. van Nes,Jaap A. Wagenaar,Ad C. Fluit +9 more
TL;DR: Investigation if different kinds of pig farms, like farrowing farms and rearing farms, play a role in the transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus to Dutch finishing farms found that MRSA are transmitted between farms through the purchase of colonized pigs.
Journal ArticleDOI
High Interlaboratory Reproducibility of DNA Sequence-Based Typing of Bacteria in a Multicenter Study
Marta Aires-de-Sousa,Kit Boye,H. de Lencastre,Ariane Deplano,Mark C. Enright,Jerome Etienne,Alexander W. Friedrich,Dag Harmsen,A. Holmes,Xander W. Huijsdens,Angela M. Kearns,Alexander Mellmann,Hélène Meugnier,J. K. Rasheed,Emile Spalburg,Birgit Strommenger,Marc Struelens,Fred C. Tenover,Jonathan C. Thomas,Ulrich Vogel,Henrik Westh,Jian-guo Xu,Wolfgang Witte +22 more
TL;DR: DNA sequence-based typing of the Staphylococcus aureus protein A gene showed 100% intra- and interlaboratory reproducibility without extensive harmonization of protocols for 30 blind-coded S. aureUS DNA samples sent to 10 laboratories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-Resistant and -Susceptible Staphylococcus aureus Sequence Type 398 in Pigs and Humans
Alex van Belkum,Damian C. Melles,Justine K. Peeters,Willem B. van Leeuwen,Engeline van Duijkeren,Xander W. Huijsdens,Emile Spalburg,Albert J. de Neeling,Henri A. Verbrugh +8 more
TL;DR: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus sequence type 398 (ST398 MRSA) was identified in Dutch pigs and pig farmers and likely causes infections in humans.
