Figure 2From: Longitudinal study on transmission of MRSA CC398 within pig herdsReproduction ratio for MRSA in pigs related to antimicrobial use, age and infection pressure. Reproduction ratio related to use of tetracyclins and β-lactam antimicrobials (yes, no), age of pigs (pre-weaning, post-weaning) and relative proportion of the infection pressure within the pen compared to the total infection pressure (pIP); based on 513 MRSA cases (C) from 989 susceptibles (S) from 4 herds. Note: lines for antimicrobials; post-weaning pigs and no antimicrobials; pre-weaning pigs are overlapping, thus difficult to distinguish.Back to article page
