Absence of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus clonal complex CC398 as a nasal colonizer of pigs raised in an alternative systemChristiane Cuny
Robert Koch Institute, Wernigerode Branch, Wernigerode, Germany
Appl Environ Microbiol 78:1296-7. 2012..Here we report a study on 25 farms adhering to an alternative system. LA-MRSA ST398 was not detected in nasal swabs from 178 pigs or from 89 humans working and living on these farms...
Clusters of infections in horses with MRSA ST1, ST254, and ST398 in a veterinary hospitalChristiane Cuny
Wernigerode Branch, Robert Koch Institute, Wernigerode, Germany
Microb Drug Resist 14:307-10. 2008..The infections were caused by different MRSA clones (ST1, ST254, and ST398). In the same time, nasal colonization of veterinarians, veterinary personnel, and students was observed indicating transmission to humans...
Emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in different animal speciesChristiane Cuny
Robert Koch Institute, Wernigerode Branch, Burgstrasse 37, 38855 Wernigerode, Germany
Int J Med Microbiol 300:109-17. 2010..Mechanisms of host adaptation and their genomic background are poorly understood so far...
Emergence and spread of cfr-mediated multiresistance in staphylococci: an interdisciplinary challengeWolfgang Witte
Robert Koch Institute, Wernigerode, Germany
Future Microbiol 6:925-31. 2011..Timely detection and targeted prevention of further dissemination in both human and veterinary medicine is warranted for preserving the activity linezolid as an important antibiotic for treatment of staphylococcal infections...
Nasal colonization of humans with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) CC398 with and without exposure to pigsChristiane Cuny
Robert Koch Institute, Wernigerode Branc, Wernigerode, Germany
PLoS ONE 4:e6800. 2009..The study presented here addresses the question of further transmission to non exposed humans...
Rare occurrence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus CC130 with a novel mecA homologue in humans in GermanyChristiane Cuny
Wernigerode Branch, Robert Koch Institute, Wernigerode, Germany
PLoS ONE 6:e24360. 2011..The isolates were negative for enterotoxin genes and tst, as well as for eta, and etb; agr-type was III...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in humans and animals, Central EuropeWolfgang Witte
Robert Koch Institute, Wernigerode, Germany
Emerg Infect Dis 13:255-8. 2007..g., dog, pig, horse) in Germany and Austria. Of particular concern is the association of these cases with cases of nosocomial ventilator-associated pneumonia...
Emergence and spread of antibiotic-resistant Gram-positive bacterial pathogensWolfgang Witte
Robert Koch Institute, Wernigerode Branch, D 38855 Wernigerode, Germany
Int J Med Microbiol 298:365-77. 2008..Also in Streptococcus pneumoniae, antibiotic resistance is preferentially associated with clonal lineages which have a capacity for spreading. They became, however, more rare after introduction of the 7-valent conjugate vaccine...
