Matching the types with types found in the hospitals of the region. Start is summer 2012, first results winter 2012.
Background summary
The HICARE-Project focuses on MRO in the human health system. In a smaller study the prevalence of MRSA and ESBL in livestock and healthy farmers in the region of the german baltic sea will be researched. We want to know what types of MRSA and ESBL occur in livestock and if they are related to types found in hospitals in the same region.
Study objective
The prevalence of multiresistant organisms (MRO) like MRSA and ESBL are higher in farmers and livestock builds an important reservoir. In farmers occur other types than in the hospital.
