U.S., Oct. 28 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07898930) titled 'Farm-originated Antimicrobial Resistance Modeling: Exploring Humans-to-Animal Dissemination' on Oct. 21.
Brief Summary: Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health issue. Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the indicators that is monitored particularly closely. In animals, pig farms, among others, have been identified as reservoirs of MRSA, with a risk of transmission to humans, particularly to individuals in direct contact with livestock. In France, the prevalence of MRSA in pig farms has increased markedly in recent years.
While cross-species transmission between pigs and humans in professional ...
