Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus of animal origin in humans.
Inge H.M. van Loo,X. W. Huijsdens,E Tiemersma,Albert J. de Neeling,Nienke van de Sande-Bruinsma,Desirée Beaujean,Andreas Voss,Jan Kluytmans +7 more
TL;DR: MRSA from an animal reservoir has recently entered the human population and is now responsible for >20% of all MRSA in the Netherlands.
Journal ArticleDOI
High prevalence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus in pigs.
A J de Neeling,M.J.M. van den Broek,E. Spalburg,M. G. van Santen-Verheuvel,W.D.C. Dam-Deisz,Hendriek C. Boshuizen,A.W. van de Giessen,E. van Duijkeren,X. W. Huijsdens +8 more
TL;DR: The percentage of MRSA positive pigs was significantly different among slaughterhouses and among groups within slaughterhouses, indicating a high prevalence ofMRSA in pigs delivered from the farms as well as cross contamination in the slaughterhouses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in meat.
E. de Boer,J. T. M. Zwartkruis-Nahuis,B. Wit,X. W. Huijsdens,A.J. de Neeling,T. Bosch,R.A.A. van Oosterom,A. Vila,Annet E. Heuvelink +8 more
TL;DR: At present the high prevalence of MRSA in meat has not been shown to contribute significantly to the dissemination ofMRSA to humans and the possible health hazard for consumers of the presence of MR SA in foods should be further elucidated.
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
Occurrence and characteristics of extended-spectrum-β-lactamase- and AmpC-producing clinical isolates derived from companion animals and horses
Cindy M Dierikx,E. van Duijkeren,Anky H.W. Schoormans,A. van Essen-Zandbergen,Kees Veldman,Arie Kant,X. W. Huijsdens,K. van der Zwaluw,Jaap A. Wagenaar,Jaap A. Wagenaar,Dik Mevius,Dik Mevius +11 more
TL;DR: This is the first study among a large collection of Dutch companion animals and horses characterizing ESBL/AmpC-producing isolates and a similarity in resistance genes and E. coli STs among these isolates from Dutch poultry and humans may suggest exchange of resistance between different reservoirs.
