Article Synopsis
- Bacteria and viruses were studied in both symptomatic pig farmers and their pigs in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, with a total of 86 human and 495 pig swabs collected.
- Findings showed that Staphylococcus aureus was prevalent in both humans (62.8%) and pigs (36%), alongside frequent detection of human viruses like HRV and HCoV in farmers, and bacteria such as Haemophilus parasuis in pigs.
- A concerning 33.3% of human samples showed methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), indicating potential occupational transmission from pigs to farmers, while no cross-species virus transmission was found.
Between 2012 and 2015, 495 pooled snout swabs from fattening pigs raised in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, were screened for the presence of enterovirus G (EV-G) RNA. Nucleic acids were tested in diverse reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assays applying published oligonucleotide primers specific for the viral protein (VP) 1 and 2/4 encoding regions as well as for 3D polymerase. Phylogenetic analyses of VP1 revealed the presence of 12 EV-G types, three of which had highly divergent sequences suggesting putative new types.
