Low prevalence of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus clonal complex 398 and mecC MRSA among human isolates in North-West England.
Gavin K PatersonPublished in: Journal of applied microbiology (2020)
While the study demonstrates that LA-MRSA were rare among human MRSA isolates in the sampled population, the data provide a baseline for the future surveillance of what is a significant public health challenge in some regions. The demonstration of linked human and animal isolates of CC398 LA-MRSA, supported by genomic and epidemiological data, reinforces the need for such surveillance and for continued awareness of the risks that LA-MRSA may pose in the UK.
