2011-01-01ZeitschriftenartikelAbsence of infection in pigs inoculated with high-titre recombinant PERV-A/C Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) represent a risk for xenotransplantation using pig cells or organs since they are integrated in the genome of all pigs and infect human cells in vitro. Recombinants between PERV-A ...

2011-12-09ZeitschriftenartikelAbsence of Livestock-Associated Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Clonal Complex CC398 as a Nasal Colonizer of Pigs Raised in an Alternative System Livestock-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (LA-MRSA) ST398 isolated from pigs raised in conventional farms was previously reported. Here we report a study on 25 farms adhering to an alternative system. ...

2015-04-24ZeitschriftenartikelCytotoxic Effects during Knock Out of Multiple Porcine Endogenous Retrovirus (PERV) Sequences in the Pig Genome by Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFN) Xenotransplantation has been proposed as a solution to the shortage of suitable human donors for transplantation and pigs are currently favoured as donor animals. However, xenotransplantation may be associated with the ...

2015-10-14ZeitschriftenartikelExtended Microbiological Characterization of Göttingen Minipigs in the Context of Xenotransplantation: Detection and Vertical Transmission of Hepatitis E Virus Xenotransplantation has been proposed as a solution to the shortage of suitable human donors. Pigs are currently favoured as donor animals for xenotransplantation of cells, including islet cells, or organs. To reduce the ...

2012-04-01ZeitschriftenartikelInfection Barriers to Successful Xenotransplantation Focusing on Porcine Endogenous Retroviruses Xenotransplantation may be a solution to overcome the shortage of organs for the treatment of patients with organ failure, but it may be associated with the transmission of porcine microorganisms and the development of ...

2008-03-10ZeitschriftenartikelKnockdown of porcine endogenous retrovirus (PERV) expression by PERV-specific shRNA in transgenic pigs Background: Xenotransplantation using porcine cells, tissues or organs may be associated with the transmission of porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs). More than 50 viral copies have been identified in the pig genome ...

2007-02-01ZeitschriftenartikelMethicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus ST398 in humans and animals, Central Europe. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus of clonal lineage ST398 that exhibits related spa types and contains SCCmec elements of types IVa or V has been isolated from colonized and infected humans and companion animals ...

2010-05-14ZeitschriftenartikelPork contaminated with Salmonella enterica serovar 4,[5],12:i:-, an emerging health risk for humans. Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar 4,[5],12:i:- is a monophasic variant of S. enterica serovar Typhimurium (antigenic formula 4,[5],12:i:1,2). Worldwide, especially in several European countries and the United ...

2009-08-24ZeitschriftenartikelPrevalence and molecular characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among pigs on German farms and import of livestock-related MRSA into hospitals The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and molecular characteristics of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) among pigs and estimate the impact of this animal reservoir on human healthcare. Nasal ...

2013-09-11ZeitschriftenartikelRisk Factors Associated with the Community-Acquired Colonization of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) Positive Escherichia Coli. An Exploratory Case-Control Study Background: The number of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) positive (+) Escherichia coli is increasing worldwide. In contrast with many other multidrug-resistant bacteria, it is suspected that they predominantly ...

2008-11-01ZeitschriftenartikelShiga Toxin-producing Escherichia coli Serogroups in Food and Patients, Germany. We compared 61 Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) serogroups from 448 food isolates with 71 STEC serogroups from 1,447 isolates from patients in Germany. Two thirds (41/61), representing 72% of food isolates, ...
