Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic resistance is increasing in both human and veterinary medicine, with concerns about animal reservoirs potentially spreading resistant bacteria to humans.
- In countries like Denmark and the Netherlands, where livestock-associated MRSA is managed, people in contact with pigs show higher colonization rates, suggesting similar risks if LA-MRSA were introduced to Sweden's pig population.
- The study suggests that testing imported live breeding pigs could prevent LA-MRSA introduction, potentially benefiting Swedish society with estimated financial gains between €870,720 and €1,233,511, while the costs are only €211,129, although further research is needed to confirm these findings.
