Phage Treatment Trial to Eradicate LA-MRSA from Healthy Carrier Pigs.

The increase of livestock-associated methicillin-resistant (LA-MRSA) causes a threat to human health. LA-MRSA can be transmitted from animals to animal caretakers, which may further spread MRSA to communities and health care facilities. The objective of this work was to study the efficacy of phage treatment in the eradication of LA-MRSA from healthy carrier pigs.
