High-level vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium related to humans and pigs found in dust from pig breeding facilities.

Veterinary microbiology - 25 Jan 2013

Braga Teresa M, Pomba Constança, Lopes M Fátima Silva

Abstract excerpt

Environmental dust from animal breeding facilities was never screened for the presence of enterococci, nor of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), despite the possibility of being a vehicle of transmission of strains and antibiotic resistance genes between food-producing animals and man. Bio-security measures in pig facilities include disinfection with biocides to avoid the dissemination of opportunistic...
