First description of PVL-positive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in wild boar meat.

摘要: Staphylococcus aureus is an important food-borne pathogen due to the ability of enterotoxigenic strains produce staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) in food. Methicillin-resistant S. (MRSA) also for humans, causing severe and hard treat diseases hospitals community its multiresistance against antimicrobials. In particular, harbouring genes encoding Panton–Valentine leukocidin (PVL) toxin are concern from a public health perspective as they usually capable skin soft tissue infections (sSSTIs) occasionally necrotizing pneumonia which associated with high mortality. This first report on detection MRSA PVL wild boar meat. Among 28 isolated meat course national monitoring programme Germany, seven harboured PVL-encoding genes. Six isolates were identical according results spa-, MLST-, microarray- PFGE-typing. They could be assigned epidemic clone USA300. Epidemiological investigations revealed that people handling food most likely common source contamination these MRSA. These findings call again suitable hygienic measures at all processing steps production chain. The study underline along chain essential closely characterise total burden health.
