“…Occupational exposure to agricultural animals can increase the risk of acquiring an antibiotic-resistant organism [12][13][14][15]. Liu et al recently performed a systematic review to identify the prevalence and risk factors for MRSA carriage in livestock workers [14]. They reported a pooled prevalence rate of 14.2 % among livestock workers, and increased animal exposure was associated with MRSA carriage [14].…”

“…Genetically related strains of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and multidrugresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae have been identified in healthy agricultural animals, colonized persons, and infected persons [8][9][10][11]. Occupational exposure to agricultural animals can increase the risk of acquiring an antibiotic-resistant organism [12][13][14][15]. Liu et al recently performed a systematic review to identify the prevalence and risk factors for MRSA carriage in livestock workers [14].…”

They reported a pooled prevalence rate of 14.2 % among livestock workers, and increased animal exposure was associated with MRSA carriage [14]. Furthermore, swine workers are sixfold more likely to carry a multidrug-resistant S. aureus strain compared with people who do not have contact with swine, while poultry workers are fourfold more likely to carry a multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli strain compared with community referents [13,15].…”

“…There are a wide range of estimates on the prevalence of resistant bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), multidrug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus , extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in people in contact with livestock. This includes pig farms, veterinarians and slaughterhouse workers from many countries 25–28 . Therefore, to determine the impact of the swine farm environment among farm workers necessitates determining the paths of antibiotic resistant gene (ARG) transfer.…”

The external environment plays a critical role in shaping the structure of the gut microbiome. One potential health threat lies in the release of antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) from cross-contaminated microbiomes. We focused this study on a comparison of fecal microbial composition and antibiotic resistant genes between farm workers, local villagers and swine. We used a high-throughput next-generation sequencing of 16S rRNA and real-time PCR for these studies. Our results indicated that workers had less species diversity as compared to the local villagers. Moreover, the bacterial communities of the farm workers, the local villagers and swine feces were clearly divided into three groups. The workers had a greater abundance of Proteobacteria as compared to swine and the local villagers. The Clostridiaceae in the workers and swine were more abundant than the local villagers. In addition, there were ARG differences between the farm workers or local villager’s and swine feces. The farm workers and the local villagers had similar relative abundance except for macrolide ARGs. Taken together, these data suggest that the swine farm environment affects the fecal bacterial composition of swine farm workers. However, ARG spread was influenced by factors independent of the swine farm environment.

“…pig farmers, veterinarians, pig transporters and slaughterhouse workers, are at risk of being colonised. [7] In countries with low prevalence of MRSA in humans, a reservoir in pigs may give a significant contribution to the human MRSA burden. [8]…”

Introduction: Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) has emerged among pigs in many countries. MRSA in the pig population constitute a reservoir with risk for transmission to humans in close contact with pigs. Absence of MRSA in the top of the breeding pyramid would prevent spread to the rest of the pig population. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of MRSA in nucleus and multiplying pig herds in Sweden. Materials and methods: All nucleus and multiplying pig herds in Sweden present in 2011 (n = 53) and 2014 (n = 39) were sampled for MRSA. Results and discussion: MRSA was not detected either in 2011 or in 2014. That MRSA was not detected in the top of the breeding pyramid indicates a favourable MRSA situation in the Swedish pig population.
