Study says MRSA can jump from animals to humans

A new study using gene sequencing finds the superbug MRSA can be transmitted from animals to humans.

Researchers in England and Denmark used whole genome sequencing to establish the animal-to-human transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, the MRSA bacteria.

“Our findings demonstrate that the MRSA strains we studied are capable of transmission between animals and humans,
