Characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates from pig carcasses in Hong Kong.

Zoonoses and public health - 1 Sept 2012

Abstract excerpt

This study describes the isolation and characterization of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) from slaughtered pigs sampled from local markets in Hong Kong. The nares of 400 slaughtered pigs were cultured and MRSA isolates characterized for the presence of antibiotic-resistance determinants, toxins and SCCmec and spa types using PCR. Clonality was investigated using PFGE and MLST. The prevalence...
