T1 - Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Pigs with Exudative Epidermitis T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2007 VL - 13 IS - 9 SP - 1408 SN - 1080-6059 AB - Despite a strict control program for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in human medicine in the Netherlands, MRSA was cultured from exudative epidermitis lesions of 4 piglets on a breeding farm, 20 pigs on a supplier farm, and 2 workers on these farms. The MRSA strains were indistinguishable, suggesting direct transmission.
