PY - 2012 DA - 2012/05/18 TI - Longitudinal study on transmission of MRSA CC398 within pig herds JO - BMC Veterinary Research SP - 58 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - 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.
