Methicillin-ResistantStaphylococcus aureusST398 from Human Patients, Upper Austria

Abstract: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clonal type ST398 is usually associated with animals. We examined 1,098 confirmed MRSA samples from human patients and found that 21 were MRSA ST398. Most (16) patients were farmers. Increasing prevalence from 1.3% (2006) to 2.5% (2008) shows emergence of MRSA ST398 in humans in Austria.

“…In the following months and years however, a multitude of reports, from the Netherlands as well as many other countries, showed that MRSA of this type not only had spread among pigs, other animal species (veal calves, chickens, horses, dogs, rats) and humans related to farming (61,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,123,124,125,126), but was also capable of causing disease, in animals (62,115,119,127,128,129) as well as humans (116,119,130,131,132,133,134). It is now understood that this MRSA is disseminating clonally, possessing some typical features:…”

“…LA-MRSA has been isolated from (severe) infections of people in close contact with pigs (116,132,134,187,193,194) and poultry (130) (Table 4). There seems to be no association of LA-MRSA with certain clinical conditions, as it has been found in both invasive and skin related infections (Table 4).…”

“…Le portage nasal chez l'homme a été rapporté avec des fréquences très variables, surtout chez des professionnels, c'est-à-dire les éle-veurs de porc, les vétérinaires, voire les employés d'abattoir (Armand-Lefevre et al 2005 ;van Loo et al 2007 ;Lewis et al 2008 ;van Belkum et al 2008 ;Wulf et al 2008b ;Cuny et al 2009 ;Denis et al 2009 ;Krziwanek et al 2009 ;van Cleef et al 2010). La fréquence d'isolement de ST398 (SARM ou SASM) chez l'homme peut être faible, par exemple de l'ordre de 0,2 % aux Pays-Bas (van Belkum et al 2008) : cette étude ne montre pas de différence significative entre les souches isolées chez le porc et celles chez l'homme, que ce soit en situation de portage ou au contraire lors d'infections invasives ou locales (bacté-riémies, plaies ou urines infectées ou encore expectorations (figure 2).…”
