An investigation of the occurrence of antibiotic resistance genes among strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from animals and their relationship to human strains of Staphylococcus aureus
2008-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Data has emerged which indicates that antimicrobial use in animals has created a reservoir of resistant bacteria and resistance genes that have spread to humans. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of animal antimicrobial use on human strains of <i>S. aureus</i>. Phenotypic and genotypic methods assessed the genetic population structure, potential for host adaptation, frequency of antimicrobial resi...
