More bad news about Porcine MRSA moving from pigs to people
comes from Denmark.
Britain's corrupt government veterinarians still refuse to test or admit
that British pigs have MRSA, so nothing will be done to protect
British hospitals.
More or less every other country has admitted MRSA in their
pigs for years and are are doing what they can to deal with the
problem.
Denmark has the done the most and has clean hospitals and much
healthier pigs: they control the antibiotics used on their farms as you
can see from earlier reports on this blog, but things are still not right.
Britain's notorious agriculture ministry, DEFRA, does nothing but sit
on their hands and attempt to discredit anyone daring to complain
about this appalling situation.
MRSA cc398 is usually referred to as MRSA st398 in the English
speaking countries.

The number of people infected with MRSA of porcine type CC398
increased from 40 in 2009 to 109 in 2010. MRSA CC398
accounted for 10% of all new MRSA cases in 2010.
Until 2010, most people with MRSA CC398 had contact with pigs,
but in 2010 was 15 cases of CC398 found in individuals who do

"It is important to prevent the occurrence of MRSA in pigs increases,
because we produce a large number of pigs in Denmark, and pigs
are the main reservoir for MRSA CC398, "says senior Yvonne Agersø
from National Food Institute.

"It is worrying that 14% of new cases do not have direct contact with
pigs. It may indicate that bacterium is about to change, so it rubs
