Journal ArticleDOI
Community-acquired MRSA and pig-farming.
X. W. Huijsdens,Beatrix J van Dijke,Emile Spalburg,Marga G van Santen-Verheuvel,Max Heck,Gerlinde N. Pluister,Andreas Voss,Wim J. B. Wannet,Albert J. de Neeling +8 more
TL;DR: A MRSA cluster among family members of a pig-farmer, his co-workers and his pigs shows clonal spread and transmission between humans and pigs in the Netherlands and puts the until now successful Search and Destroy policy of the Netherlands at risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human-to-Dog Transmission of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus
Engeline van Duijkeren,M. J. H. M. Wolfhagen,Adrienne T.A. Box,Max Heck,Wim J. B. Wannet,Ad C. Fluit +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, MRSA was cultured from the nose of a healthy dog whose owner was colonized with MRSA while she worked in a Dutch nursing home and typing of the staphylococcal chromosome cassette mec (SCCmec) region showed that both MRSA strains were identical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Pathogenic Yersinia enterocolitica by a Rapid and Sensitive Duplex PCR Assay
TL;DR: A duplex PCR assay targeting the ail and 16S rRNA genes of Yersinia enterocolitica was developed and offers a very specific, reliable, and inexpensive alternative to the conventional phenotypic assays used in clinical laboratories to identify pathogenic Y. enterocol itica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Designation of the European Working Group on Legionella Infection (EWGLI) Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Types of Legionella pneumophila Serogroup 1 and Results of Intercentre Proficiency Testing Using a Standard Protocol
Norman K. Fry,Jette M Bangsborg,A.M.C. Bergmans,Sverker Bernander,Jerome Etienne,L. Franzin,Valeria Gaia,Petra Hasenberger,B. Baladrón Jiménez,Daniel Jonas,Diane S. J. Lindsay,S. Mentula,Androniki Papoutsi,Marc Struelens,Søren A. Uldum,Paolo Visca,Wim J. B. Wannet,Timothy G. Harrison +17 more
TL;DR: The AFLP method as described is robust and rapid and allows the genotypic comparison of isolates of Legionella pneumophila between different testing centres without the need for exchange of the strains studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibiotic resistance, integrons and Salmonella genomic island 1 among non-typhoidal Salmonella serovars in The Netherlands.
An T. T. Vo,Engeline van Duijkeren,Ad C. Fluit,Wim J. B. Wannet,Anjo J. Verbruggen,Henny M.E. Maas,Wim Gaastra +6 more
TL;DR: Investigation of antimicrobial resistance patterns, integron characteristics and gene cassettes as well as the presence of Salmonella genomic island 1 (SGI1) in non-typhoidal Salmonellosis isolates from human and animal origin found the same resistance phenotype, integrons profile and SGI1 structure could be observed.
