Detection of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in food samples of animal origin in Spain.
Sir, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains belonging to clonal lineage sequence type (ST) 398 are being reported at an increasing frequency in Europe. This new MRSA type has been isolated from colonized and infected animals and humans, and also from meat in some countries, representing a risk to human health; nevertheless, so far, no data about detection of MRSA ST398 in fo...
متن کاملEmergence of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus of Animal Origin in Humans
In 2003 in the Netherlands, a new methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain emerged that could not be typed with Sma1 pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (NT-MRSA). The association of NT-MRSA in humans with a reservoir in animals was investigated. The frequency of NT-MRSA increased from 0% in 2002 to >21% after intensified surveillance was implemented in July 2006. Geographically, ...
متن کاملSCCmec Typing in Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Strains of Animal Origin
To the Editor: Van Loo et al. described the presence of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) type III in some methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus sequence type (ST) 398 isolates related to pig farming (1). SCCmec types are based on the allotype of ccr genes and the mec gene complex. Class A mec has intact mecI/R regulator genes. Type III SCCmec has type 3 ccr genes and class ...

متن کاملZinc resistance of Staphylococcus aureus of animal origin is strongly associated with methicillin resistance.
This study was conducted to determine the occurrence of zinc and copper resistances in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from swine and veal calves in a global strain collection. The test population consisted of 476 porcine MRSA isolates from ten European countries, 18 porcine MRSA isolates from Canada and seven MRSA from China, 92 MRSA and 60 methicillin-susceptible S. aureus ...
