Temporal trends of MRSA prevalence in various types of meat, 2011–2020

  • AT: Austria; CH: Switzerland; DE: Germany; NL: the Netherlands.
    The 2‐S method of isolation was used by CH and DE from 2011 to 2018; while the 1‐S method was used by the NL from 2018 to 2019, as well as CH in 2019.
    *: spa‐types not reported.
    [1] In 2019, spa‐types were not reported; however, both isolates were confirmed to belong to CC398 using the sau1‐hsdS1 CC398 PCR reaction (Stegger et al., 2011).
    [2] In 2017, spa‐type: t011 (1 isolate), t002 (1). PVL status of the t002 isolate was not reported. In 2019, spa‐type was not reported; however, the isolate was confirmed to belong to CC398 using the sau1‐hsdS1 CC398 PCR reaction (Stegger et al., 2011).
    [3] In 2018, spa‐types: t011 (2 isolates), t034 (1 isolate). In 2020, spa‐types: t011 (4 isolates), t034 (4 isolates)
    [4] In 2016, spa‐types: t034 (3 isolates), t153 (1), t1430 (3), t2123 (2). PVL status of the t153 isolate was not reported.
    In 2018, spa‐types: t034 CC398 (1 isolate), t1430 (1), t571 CC398 (1), t13177 (1).
