Recently the isolation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains from several food producing animals and from foods has been reported. During food production, contamination of meat with MRSA may occur and consequently this pathogen can be transmitted to human. The aims of this study were (i) to estimate the prevalence of S. aureus in farmed pigs, farm environment and personnel; (ii) determine the presence of S. aureus in pork products; (iv) detect the presence of MRSA among isolated strains.

Abstract
Recently the isolation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains from several food producing animals and from foods has been reported. During food production, contamination of meat with MRSA may occur and consequently this pathogen can be transmitted to human. The aims of this study were (i) to estimate the prevalence of S. aureus in farmed pigs, farm environment and personnel; (ii) determine the presence of S. aureus in pork products; (iv) detect the presence of MRSA among isolated strains.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
