The findings are the latest in a growing body of evidence for transmission of MRSA between livestock and humans. In particular, there has been concern about whether high-density livestock farms, where thousands of animals are housed in close proximity, might contribute to the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance. Clinicians and scientists are probing this possibility as they seek to identify potential sources of community-acquired MRSA, a growing public health concern.
