In The Netherlands, patients exposed to pigs or veal calves were recently shown to be at high risk of methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriage. In Amphia Hospital (Breda, The Netherlands), 32% of patients in this risk group were shown to carry MRSA. This resulted in a 3‐fold increase in the annual MRSA incidence.

Received 14 June 2007; accepted 4 September 2007; electronically published 10 December 2007.
