Genomic comparison of mecC-carrying methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from hedgehogs and humans in the Netherlands
OBJECTIVES: MRSA carrying the mecC gene (mecC-MRSA) have been found in humans and animals worldwide. A high carriage rate of mecC-MRSA has been described among hedgehogs in different countries. We performed genomic comparison of mecC-MRSA from hedgehogs and humans using next-generation sequencing (NGS) to investigate possible zoonotic transmission in the Netherlands. METHODS: Nasal swabs from hedgehogs (n = 105) were cultured using pre-enrichment and selective plates. Isolates were sequenced using Illumina NGS platforms. These data were compared with sequence data of mecC-MRSA (n = 62) from th... Mehr ...
