Résumé
Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) is widely distributed in the Danish pig production. Spillover to the mink production is hypothesized to occur via contaminated pig by-products used in the production of mink feed. The aim of the present longitudinal experimental cohort study was to confirm the potential of LA-MRSA being transmitted to naïve mink after exposure to contaminated feed, and to study the persistence of the bacterium on the animals after ceased exposure to contaminated feed. LA-MRSA-negative mink (n = 28) were housed in pairs in 14 mesh cages. Twenty-four mink (12 cages) received around 5.1 × 10
