(English version below)

Auch im kommenden Sommersemester wird wieder eine Ringvorlesung mit spannenden Beiträgen von Professor*innen der Abteilung angeboten. Teilnehmen können alle (professoralen und promovierenden) Mitglieder sowie Angehörige der Abteilung. Wichtig:  wir benötigen eine Anmeldung zur Ringvorlesung (einmalig per Mail an die Koordination für das gesamte Semester)!

Wir freuen uns auf eine rege Teilnahme, sowohl von Promovierenden als auch gerne von Professor*innen!
 

Termine jeweils mittwochs, 10:00-11:30 Uhr, online.

Multi-resistant bacteria in livestock farming: prevalence, relevance, measures for reduction

Germany is one of the countries with the highest detection rates of multi-resistant bacteria. Overall, 43.5% of the 46 pig breeding farms examined (EU average 14%) and 41.3% of the 155 production farms examined (EU average 26.9%) were affected. People exposed to pigs (farmers, veterinarians, slaughterhouse employees) are very often nasally colonized with MRSA CC398. Various studies have shown that around 80% of farmers in Germany are colonized with the pathogen. The results of a study on the persistence of MRSA colonization among farmers in pig farming in North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony show that the majority (50%) of farmers are persistently colonized, i.e. colonization persists even after prolonged absence from the animal house. "Farm animal-associated spa types", in particular t011 (10%) and t034 (6%) represent the third and fourth most common MRSA overall. Decolonization of persons with a connection to livestock farming has so far been unsuccessful in the long term, as these persons were recolonized with MRSA nasally, provided that MRSA was still detectable in the environment or animals in the animal stables. The sanitation or decontamination of livestock farms has so far been inadequate. New studies from the network project "#1HealthPREVENT" show that a reduction of these pathogens in livestock farming is possible. The latest results will be presented in the lecture.
 

______________________________________________________________________________

In the upcoming summer semester, we will once again offer a lecture series featuring exciting contributions from professors of the department. All members (professors and doctoral candidates) as well as associates of the department are welcome to participate. Important: Registration for the lecture series is required (one-time registration via email to the coordination office for the entire semester)!

For English speaking participants: each contribution will have either the slides or the presentation in English.

We look forward to active participation, both from doctoral candidates and also from professors!
 

All dates: Wednesdays, 10:00-11:30 am, online
