“…In the present study, the birds are managed on deep-litter system which by design is difficult for instituting an effective control of disease and pathogens dissemination. The occurrence of MRSA in poultry in this study could also be due to indiscriminate administration of antibiotics to food animals by farmers without prescription by a veterinarian which is a common practice in Nigeria as documented by Broens et al (2011). …”

Objective:The study was conducted to determine the presence of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in chickens and farm personnel in Sokoto, North-western Nigeria. Materials and method: A total of 160 samples (136 from chickens and 14 from personnel) were collected and screened for the presence of MRSA using cultural characteristics, biochemical tests and latex slide agglutination test for the presence of Penicillin binding protein 2α (PBP2α). Results: MRSA were detected in 8.82% (n=12/136) of chickens, while 14.29% (n=2/14) in farm personnel. All the isolates were positive for PBP2α. Conclusion: This study established for the first time the occurrence of MRSA in both chickens and farm personnel from poultry farms in Sokoto, Nigeria. Thus, the study provided baseline information for further studies on the epidemiology of MRSA.

“…MRSA has been increasingly reported as emerging problem in veterinary medicine, particularly in small animals and poultry (Broens et al, 2011). The presence of MRSA in different poultry farms, slaughter houses, carcases, or food of poultry origin has been reported (Persoons et al, 2009;Bakeet and Darwish, 2014).…”

“…Die Nachweishäufigkeit von MRSA in konventionellen Mastbetrieben scheint positiv mit der Bestandsgrö-ße zu korrelieren [229,230]. Die Verbreitung zwischen den Mastanlagen geschieht dabei primär über den Tierverkehr, also über Zu-und Verkauf von Ferkeln [231].…”

“…Various farm types in the Netherlands were reported to have MRSA in 23-71% of their pigs, and it was especially high in farms with inishing pigs (pigs are almost ready to be sent to market) [49,57,64]. The presence of MRSA is dependent on pig production type and herd size and increases from 31 to 86% depending upon small-, medium-, and large-sized farms carrying <250, >500, and >1000 animals, respectively [45,62,64,65].…”

MRSA prevalence also varied with farm type, e.g., fatening and closed (farrow-to-inish) farms exhibited 94 and 56% MRSA, respectively [66].…”

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become a growing concern in companion and food-producing animals. The presence of multidrug-resistance with a wide range of extracellular enterotoxin genes, virulence factors, and Panton-Valentine leukocidin (pvl) cytotoxin genes confer life-threatening traits on MRSA and makes them highly pathogenic and diicult to treat. Clonal complex 398 (CC398), a predominant clonal lineage of livestock-associated-MRSA in domestic animals and retail meat, is capable of infecting humans. In order to monitor and prevent MRSA contamination, it is critical to understand its source and transmission dynamics. In this review, we describe MRSA in food-producing animals (pig, catle, chicken), horses, pet animals (dogs, cats), and food products (pork, beef, chicken, milk, and ish).
