In this second installment, Antonio Palomo summarizes the papers and posters on health, immunology, and vaccines presented at the latest edition of the IPVS and ESPHM-ECPHM in Leipzig.
Evaluation of an electrostatic particle ionization technology for decreasing airborne pathogens in pigs
The reduction in infectious agents in the air by the EPI technology could potentially decrease the microbial exposure for pigs.
MRSA colonization and infection among persons with occupational livestock exposure in Europe
This review summarizes data on the types of occupation-related infections caused by LA-MRSA CC398, the incidence of such infections as well as potential preventive strategies.
MRSA CC398 in humans and pigs in Norway: A «One Health» perspective on introduction and transmission
This study identified preventable routes of MRSA CC398 introduction and transmission: human occupational exposure, trade of pigs and livestock transport vehicles.
Eradication of MRSA and ESBL-E on a model pig farm
In summary, this report demonstrates that decontamination protocols similar to those used here can lead to successful elimination of contaminating MRSA and ESBL-E in pigs and the stable environment. Nevertheless, decontamination protocols do not prevent the acquisition of new MRSA strains.
A new antibiotic kills pathogens without detectable resistance
We did not obtain any mutants of Staphylococcus aureus or Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistant to teixobactin.
Denmark: new strategy against MRSA
Last December, the Danish Swine Investigations Centre (Videncenter for Svineproduktion; VSP) launched a strategic plan to control the spreading of the MRSA CC398.
MRSA and Danish pig production
To limit the transmission of MRSA CC398 it is therefore crucial that everyone working on pig farms are aware of their responsibility in this regard.
Denmark: MRSA CC398 constitutes an ever increasing share of MRSA infectees
In 2007, pig MRSA of the CC398 type comprised only 2% of all notified MRSA cases in Denmark. This year, the type presently accounts for more than 35% of cases.
