Methicillin-Resistant<i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>CC398 in Humans and Pigs in Norway: A “One Health” Perspective on Introduction and Transmission

Abstract

This study identified preventable routes of MRSA CC398 introduction and transmission: human occupational exposure, trade of pigs and livestock transport vehicles. These findings are essential for keeping pig populations MRSA free and, from a "One Health" perspective, preventing pig farms from becoming reservoirs for MRSA transmission to humans.
