Our objectives are:
To determine the MRSA disease burden and prevalence in humans and in animals in three countries/ areas (Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, China and Hong Kong SAR) through systematic reviews of the literature available;
Presented by Bella YANG
To identify the research gaps in the One Health context of human-animal environment interactions on MRSA in these countries;
To conduct specific studies to isolate MRSA from human, animal and environmental sources and to characterize the strains through phenotypic and molecular typing.
Table 1 Investigation settings for MRSA prevalence, carriage and contamination studies.
To understand the interrelationship between MRSA clones, their antimicrobial and biocide resistance determinants, virulence associations from a human-animal-environmental context.
