Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the genetic diversity of methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) carriage isolates from animals and humans on pig, veal, dairy, beef and broiler farms. METHODS: S. aureus isolates were genotyped using spa typing and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Antimicrobial susceptibility phenotypes and genotypes were determined. The presence of staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec...
