Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Pig Farming

We conducted a study among a group of 26 regional pig farmers to determine the methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus prevalence rate and found it was >760 times greater than the rate of patients admitted to Dutch hospitals. While spa-type t108 is apparently a more widespread clone among pig...

While spa-type t108 is apparently a more widespread clone among pig farmers and their environment, we did find other spa-types.
