Schouls et al. characterize antimicrobial resistance genes in MRSA isolates from humans and livestock in the Netherlands. The multidrug resistance gene cfr and the phenicol resistance gene fexA are identified in both types of samples, including in samples taken from persons having professional contact with livestock.
