Antimicrobial Susceptibility Profiles and Molecular Characterisation of from Pigs and Workers at Farms and Abattoirs in Zambia.

Pigs have been shown to be a reservoir for recently emerging livestock-associated (LA-SA), including methicillin resistant strains in many countries worldwide. However, there is sparse information about LA-SA strains circulating in Zambia. This study investigated the prevalence, phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of from pigs and workers at farms and abattoirs handling pigs in Lusaka Province of Zambia.
