dc.description.abstractHuman Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) carriers have increased risk for subsequent clinical associated diseases and become a bacterial reservoir with associated high risk to transfer the infection to others, including household members. Animals such as pigs are important reservoir of livestock-associated clones, which can be transferred to humans. The colonization of animals with MRSA is a professional hazard for workers that spend several daily hours in direct contact with MRSA-possitive animals and consequently have a high risk of nasal colonization. Although MRSA human infections are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries, exposure assessment procedures in occupational environments are not adapted to animal production settings at least in European countries. This work raise awareness to the relevance of monitoring MRSA strains associated with animal carriers and the requirement to create occupational standards and take effective preventive measures to protect exposed workers from MRSA colonization/infection.pt_PT
