dc.description.abstractThe worldwide escalation in antibiotic resistant microorganisms has sustained the increasing concerns regarding antibiotics extensive use in animal food industry, which can result in a selection pressure that is driving the emergence of strains such as methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Human MRSA infections are a well-known cause of numerous hospitalizations and deaths associated with extremely high mortality rates for invasive infections. Both animals and humans can become bacterial reservoirs of Livestock Associated MRSA (LA-MRSA) in which colonization predisposes to staphylococcal acquisition in clinical settings and to transfer the infection to others including household members. Biomonitoring of occupational exposed individuals which spend several hours per day in direct contact with MRSA-positive animals and thus are irrefutably exposed to a high risk of nasal colonization is imperative in order to develop effective preventive strategies. Here we performed an extensive review regarding the prevalence of LA- MRSA colonization in both occupational exposed individuals and their house-holds in a European context.pt_PT
