It was recently observed that pig breeders in The Netherlands often carry methicillin-resistant Staphylococus aureus (MRSA). These MRSA strains are related to MRSA strains found in pigs. A case-control study showed that not only pig breeders but also cattle breeders are at risk of carrying MRSA. It is advised to keep pig breeders, if they are admitted to a hospital, in isolation until surveillance cultures are proven negative. This also applies to veterinarians and slaughterhouse personnel. For cattle breeders screening without isolation on admission to a hospital is sufficient.
最近观察到，荷兰的养猪户经常携带耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（MRSA）。这些MRSA菌株与猪身上发现的MRSA菌株有关。一项病例对照研究表明，不仅养猪户，养牛户也有携带MRSA的风险。建议养猪户如果住院，应隔离至监测培养结果证明为阴性。这也适用于兽医和屠宰场工作人员。对于养牛户，入院时进行筛查而不隔离就足够了。
