Emergence of livestock-associated MRSA clonal complex 398 in Thailand’s swine industry

This study reports that the CC398-SCCmec Vc (5C2&5)-t034 genotype identified in Thai pigs may have originated from Danish swine populations, possibly introduced into Thailand through international livestock movement. The CC398-composite SCCmec-t034 genotype was also detected in domestic pigs; however, it appears to have evolved independently from the CC398-SCCmec Vc (5C2&5)-t034 genotype. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis estimates that the common ancestor of the composite genotype emerged earlier than that of the CC398-SCCmec Vc (5C2&5)-t034 genotype, indicating a separate evolutionary origin.

Abstract

This study reports that the CC398-SCCmec Vc (5C2&5)-t034 genotype identified in Thai pigs may have originated from Danish swine populations, possibly introduced into Thailand through international livestock movement. The CC398-composite SCCmec-t034 genotype was also detected in domestic pigs; however, it appears to have evolved independently from the CC398-SCCmec Vc (5C2&5)-t034 genotype. Bayesian phylogenetic analysis estimates that the common ancestor of the composite genotype emerged earlier than that of the CC398-SCCmec Vc (5C2&5)-t034 genotype, indicating a separate evolutionary origin.
