		Research The first nosocomial outbreak of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in horses in Sweden Karin Bergström, Anna Aspan, Annica Landén, Christopher Johnston, Ulrika Grönlund-Andersson Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica 2012, 54:11 (8 February 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in animals is a rare finding in Sweden. In horses, MRSA was first detected in a screening survey in 2007. In 2008, six clinical cases occurred in an equine hospital, indicating an outbreak.Association in time and space of six horses infected with an identical MRSA strain of spa-type t011 confirmed an outbreak. Two isolates found in 2009 and 2010 in the outbreak hospital were closely related to the outbreak strain, indicating one circulating strain. Both spa-type t011 and t064 have been reported in horses in Europe prior to these findings. The observation that the infections cleared although antimicrobials were not used is encouraging for future prudent use of antimicrobials. The time from surgery to bacteriological diagnosis was not acceptable in most cases, as contagious spread was a risk. Sampling when symptoms of infection are noticed and accurate analysis are thus important.
		Research Good agreement of conventional and gel-based direct agglutination test in immune-mediated haemolytic anaemia Christine J Piek, Erik Teske, Martin W van Leeuwen, Michael J Day Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica 2012, 54:10 (8 February 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed
		Research Chronic pneumonia in calves after experimental infection with Mycoplasma bovis strain 1067: Characterization of lung pathology, persistence of variable surface protein antigens and local immune response Kathrin Hermeyer, Inka Buchenau, Anne Thomasmeyer, Berit Baum, Joachim Spergser, Renate Rosengarten, Marion Hewicker-Trautwein Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica 2012, 54:9 (4 February 2012) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Infection of calves with M. bovis results in various lung lesions including caseonecrotic pneumonia originating from bronchioli and bronchi. The persistence of the pathogen and its ability to evade the specific immune response may in part result from local downregulation of antigen presenting mechanisms and an ineffective humoral immune response with prevalence of IgG1 antibodies that, compared to IgG2 antibodies, are poor opsonins.
