Livestock-associated meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus belonging to clonal complex 398 (LA-MRSA CC398) is an important cause of zoonotic infections in many countries. Here, we describe the isolation of LA-MRSA CC398 from retail meat samples of United Kingdom (UK) farm origin. Our findings indicate that this lineage is probably established in UK pig farms and demonstrate a potential pathway for the transmission of LA-MRSA CC398 from livestock to humans in the UK.
属于克隆复合体398的家畜相关耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌（LA-MRSA CC398）是许多国家人畜共患感染的重要原因。在此，我们描述了从英国农场来源的零售肉类样本中分离出LA-MRSA CC398的情况。我们的研究结果表明，这一谱系可能已在英国养猪场中确立，并证明了LA-MRSA CC398在英国从家畜传播给人类的一条潜在途径。
