[Abortions, fertility problems and mastitis on a cattle farm and a sick farmer: a zoonosis? Infection with Staphylococcus aureus phagetype T543].
On a dairy farm the herdsman got a pustular dermatitis and in the herd in a year several abortions occurred, the somatic cell count of the bulk milk increased and the fertility results decreased. The cause appeared to be an infection in both the herdsman and the herd with Staphylococcus aureus type T543.
