title: Suspected goat-to-human transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus sequence type 398.
abstract: Transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) between animals and humans is widely recognized. In this study, we describe the first case of infection of a goat and suspected transmission of MRSA ST398 to a human, which resulted in colonization of animal owners by MRSA sequence type 398.
