Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in swine farm personnel, Belgium
We assessed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in persons on 49 swine farms in Belgium. Surveys showed that 48 (37.8%) persons carried MRSA ST398 and 1 (0.8%) had concurrent skin infection. Risk factors for carriage were MRSA carriage by pigs, regular contact with pigs and companion animals, and use of protective clothing. ; SCOPUS: ar.j ; info:eu-repo/semantics/published
