Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most important antibiotic-resistant pathogens in hospitals and the community. Recently, a new generation of MRSA, the so called livestock associated (LA) MRSA, has emerged occupying food producing animals as a new niche. LA-MRSA can be regularly isolated from economically important live-stock species including corresponding meats. The present thesis takes a methodological approach to confirm the hypothesis that LA-MRSA are transmitted along the pork, poultry and beef production chain from animals at farm to meat on consumers` table. Therefore two new concepts were developed, adapted to differing data sets. A mathematical model of the pig slaughter process was developed which simulates the change in MRSA carcass prevalence during slaughter with special emphasis on identifying critical process steps for MRSA transmission. Based on prevalences as sole input variables the model framework is able to estimate the average value range of both the MRSA elimination and contaminat…
