Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in pig farming.
TL;DR: A study among a group of 26 regional pig farmers to determine the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus prevalence rate found it was >760 times greater than the rate of patients admitted to Dutch hospitals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus among veterinarians: an international study
M.W.H. Wulf,M. Sørum,A. van Nes,Robert Skov,Willem J. G. Melchers,Corné H. W. Klaassen,Andreas Voss +6 more
TL;DR: Transmission of MRSA from pigs to staff tending to these animals appears to be an international problem, creating a new reservoir for community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) in humans in Europe, and possibly worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
MRSA in livestock animals-an epidemic waiting to happen?
M.W.H. Wulf,Andreas Voss +1 more
TL;DR: It is now clear that the emergence of ST398 is not just a Dutch problem, with human infections being described in several European countries, Canada and Singapore, and some human isolates have now acquired the genes encoding Panton-Valentine leukocidin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel Types of Staphylococcal Cassette Chromosome mec Elements Identified in Clonal Complex 398 Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains
Shanshuang Li,Robert Skov,Xiao Han,Anders Rhod Larsen,Jesper Larsen,M. Sørum,M.W.H. Wulf,Andreas Voss,Keiichi Hiramatsu,Teruyo Ito +9 more
TL;DR: The structures of SCCmecs from CC398 strains were distinct from those normally found in humans, adding to the evidence that humans are not the original host for CC398.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of livestock-associated MRSA in communities with high pig-densities in the Netherlands.
