A transmission experiment was performed to evaluate the spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) ST398 in nursery piglets. Reproduction ratios (R(0)) in three experimental groups were found to vary between 3.92 and 52.54, indicating that after introduction, MRSA ST398 will spread easily among weaned piglets, with a tendency to become established.
进行了一项传播实验,以评估耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌(MRSA)ST398 在仔猪中的传播情况。三个实验组的繁殖率(R(0))分别为 3.92 至 52.54,表明 MRSA ST398 在断奶仔猪中引入后会很容易传播,并有可能定殖。
