To reveal if drug-resistant bacteria are transmitted from animals to humans in two disease outbreaks that occurred on different farms in Denmark, researchers have used whole genome sequencing. The results, which are published today in iEMBO Molecular Medicine/i, confirm animal-to-human transmission of methicillin-resistant iStaphylococcus aureus/i (MRSA), a disease-causing bacterium that carries the recently described mecC gene. The mecC gene is responsible ...Thursday, 28 March 2013
Researchers Reveal Animal-to-human Transmission of Bacterial Pathogens
To reveal if drug-resistant bacteria are transmitted from animals to humans in two disease outbreaks that occurred on different farms in Denmark, researchers have used whole genome sequencing. The results, which are published today in iEMBO Molecular Medicine/i, confirm animal-to-human transmission of methicillin-resistant iStaphylococcus aureus/i (MRSA), a disease-causing bacterium that carries the recently described mecC gene.
