Study of contamination routes on pig farms and bacteria-host interactions to reduce the MRSA load on pig-only farms and multispecies farms Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The aim of this project is to develop a protocol to remediate MRSA-positive pig farms. In the course of the project we study infection sources of MRSA on farms, the reproduction ratio during an infection and bacteria-host interactions. This project involves pig-only farms as well as multi-species farms (mostly pigs/cattle, but also pigs/broilers) because these are numerous in Belgium. On ...
