MRSA prevalence and distribution of spa types, SCCmec types and antimicrobial resistance clusters at different steps of the German turkey meat production chain in 2010.
Figure 1.
Antimicrobial resistance of MRSA in the German turkey meat production chain.
Distribution of antimicrobial resistance of MRSA strains separated into CC398 and non CC 398 strains as well as different steps of the turkey meat production chain isolated from dust samples at turkey primary production (n = 32), carcasses at slaughter (n = 248) and meat at retail (n = 241). The MRSA strains were isolated in the course of the national monitoring for zoonotic agents in Germany in 2010.
