耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌 (MRSA) 出人意料地从用于链脲佐菌素诱导糖尿病研究的猪中分离出来。为了调查 MRSA 分离株的可能来源，从动物群、动物饲养室以及参与处理动物的兽医和研究人员中获取了鼻拭子。总体而言，从三头猪和一名临床医生/科学家身上培养出了四种 MRSA 分离株。其中两种是 ST22-MRSA-IV，一种与流行病传播相关的人类毒株类型。另外两种是 ST398-MRSA-V，一种与猪相关的菌株类型。因此，应注意防止 MRSA 交叉传播。
Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was unexpectedly isolated from a pig used for streptozotocin-induced diabetes research. To investigate the possible source of the MRSA isolate, nasal swabs were obtained from the animal herd, and from animal holding rooms, and veterinary and research staff involved in the handling of the animals. Overall, four MRSA isolates were cultured from three pigs and from a clinician/scientist. Two were ST22-MRSA-IV, a human strain type associated with epidemic spread. The other two were ST398-MRSA-V, a strain type associated with pigs. Thus, care should be taken to prevent cross-transmission of MRSA.
