#Livestock Workers May Carry Staph Bacteria from Pigs Workers who handle livestock may carry antibiotic-resistant bacteria in their noses after they leave the farm.

A small study of hog workers in North carolina found that many carried staph bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus)

and some carried drug-resistant strains of the bug including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA.

and is known for spreading among hospital patients. 6 Superbugs to Watch out For About one-third of people in the general population carry the human-associated strain of Staphylococcus aureus in their noses at any given time according to the Centers for Disease Control

Staph infections can become more serious problems when they involve surgical wounds the bloodstream the lungs or the urinary tract according to Johns hopkins university.

Antibiotic-resistant strains of staph such as MRSA can be the most damaging because they can be very difficult to treat.

The researchers found that 19 (86 percent) of the workers carried some form of Staphylococcus aureus

and 16 workers (73 percent) carried livestock-associated staph at some point in those two weeks.

But 10 of those 22 workers (46 percent) persistently carried livestock-associated staph; these strains were found either in all or all but one of their nasal samples over the 14-day study.

Six of the workers persistently carried the variety of Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to multiple drugs

and is known as MDRSA (multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and one worker persistently carried MRSA. Some of the workers still had the bacteria in their noses even after they spent four days off work and away from the hog farm.

Previous research has shown that people who persistently carry Staphylococcus aureus have increased an risk of infection in clinical settings.

if there's a link between the workers who carry livestock-related staph in their noses and increased infections.

or agricultural fields fertilized with pig manure are more likely to become infected with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteria,

but was lost to a staph infection. I worked 16 years with a fused knee just as many of the workers of my generation would.

#More and more Danes infected with MRSA bacteriain 2012 1556 Danes were found positive with methicillin-resistant staphylococci--MRSA.

FACTSMRSA bacteria MRSA is short for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. When bacteria are exposed to antimicrobial agents they protect themselves by developing resistance.

Staphylococci are bacteria found in humans animals and in our surrounding environment. Staphylococcus aureus is part of the normal nasal and skin flora in approx. 50%of the population.

Staphylococcus aureus can cause a wide range of infections ranging from superficial wounds and abscesses to serious infections such as Osteitis and Endocarditis.

In hospitals Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent cause of post-surgery infections. In 2012 MRSA was identified in 1556 people.

This represents an increase of 20%on 2011 when 1292 people were infected. Only 67 people were infected at hospitals

and Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public health have for the first time found an association between living in proximity to high-density livestock production and community-acquired infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus commonly known as MRSA.

The researchers who conducted the genetic analysis of strains of Staphylococcus aureus known as CC97 say these strains developed resistance to methicillin after they crossed over into humans around forty years ago.

The drug-resistant bacteria examined were Staphylococcus aureus commonly known as Staph which include the well-known bug MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus).

New Staph strains are emerging in people who have close contact with livestock animals and for this reason have been given the name livestock-associated Staph.

While everyone in the study had direct or indirect contact with livestock only industrial workers carried antibiotic-resistant Staph with multiple genetic characteristics linked to livestock.

The study by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public health the University of North carolina at Chapel hill the Rural Empowerment Association for Community Help the George washington University and the Statens Serum Institute

published July 2 by the journal PLOS ONE confirms earlier findings in Iowa and raises concern about antibiotics use in livestock production.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention some Staph cannot be killed by antibiotics meaning they are resistant.

MRSA is a strain of Staph bacteria that is resistant to methicillin and certain first-line antibiotics called beta-lactams.

Workers were not experiencing Staph infections at the time of the study but when antibiotic resistant bacteria do cause infections they can be harder to treat.

Of 175 very-low-birth-weight infants 23 (13 percent) developed sepsis from gram-positive bacteria such as staphylococci Streptococcus and Enterococcus species and gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli

one (four percent) was contaminated with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) a type of staph bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics;

Much of the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria they carried were antibiotic resistant likely due to the use of drugs both to treat sick hogs

and even into hospitals where the bacteria have been associated with an increased risk of staph infections.

In Europe the children of livestock workers have been treated for infections caused by a new livestock-associated strain of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) that doesn't match the more widely found community-or hospital-associated strains.

Researchers later analyzed 327 separate nose swabs to see what kind of Staph bacteria they found

Eighty-six percent of the hog workers--19 of them--carried at least one type of Staphylococcus aureus at some point during the study period

In contrast only about one-third of the general population carry a strain of Staphylococcus aureus associated with humans.

what the researchers call persistent carriers of livestock-associated Staph meaning they had these strains in their noses all

Garden-variety staph are common bacteria that can live in our bodies without consequence. When they do cause infection most aren't life threatening

But staph can also cause more serious skin infections or infect surgical wounds the bloodstream the lungs or the urinary tract.

Strains of staph like MRSA which are resistant to some antibiotics can be the most damaging

These lactic acid bacteria have now been tested on severe human wound pathogens such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Pseudomonas aeruginosa and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) among others.

which we normally use for treatment of Staphylococcus infections. In her Phd project at the National Food Institute Phd student Mette Theilgaard exploited the latest technologies within whole genome sequencing

MRSA backgroundmrsa stands for methichillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. When bacteria are exposed to antibiotics they protect themselves by developing resistance.

Staphylococci are bacteria which can be found in humans animals and our surroundings. Staphylococcus aureus is part of the normal nasal and skin flora of approximately 50%of the population.

Staphylococcus aureus may cause various infections ranging from superficial wounds and abscesses to severe infections such as bone inflammation and infection of the heart valve.

In hospitals Staphylococcus aureus is the most frequent cause of infections following surgery. Story Source: The above story is provided based on materials by Technical University of Denmark (DTU.

In our antibacterial studies we have been testing honey's activity against E coli Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa among others.*

researchers discovered that an alarming percentage of the meat was contaminated with multi-drug-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus,

but staph is overlooked often times. The bacteria can cause skin infections and can lead to more serious illnesses such as pneumonia and sepsis.

half of the meat sold in grocery stores are contaminated with S. aureus one in four samples were resistant to at least three classes of antibiotics methicillin-resistant staph was found in three of the samples the staph are resistant to up to

The New york times reports that federal health officials estimate that staph accounts for less than 3 percent of all food-borne illnesses.

Businessweek reports staph infections occur only three percent of the time and are not nearly as common as other foodborne illnesses like salmonella and E coli.
