VIENNA, May 5, 2014 – The International Press Institute (IPI) today expressed concern over pending criminal charges against two Danish journalists who say Denmark may be losing the fight against the spread of a strain of drug-resistant bacteria.
Sweden’s Göteborgs-Posten reported, in an article posted in English by the Global Investigative Journalism Network, that Nils Mulvad and Kjeld Hansen of Investigative Reporting Denmark face trial tomorrow on the charge that they violated Danish law protecting personal information when they named 12 pig farms in Denmark as the sources of the spread of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Denmark: Three Deaths from Drug-Resistant “Pig MRSA”BY MARYN MCKENNA
Tweet
A troubling and also kind of odd story came out of Denmark this weekend. In a court proceeding, a microbiologist has disclosed that three residents of the country who had no known connection to farming died of MRSA infections caused by ST398, the livestock-associated strain of drug-resistant staph that first appeared among pig farmers in the Netherlands in 2004 and has since moved through Europe, Canada and the United States.
If the report is correct — and sources have told me it is, but I’ve seen no data to confirm it — it reinforces the concern that bacteria which become resistant because of antibiotic use on farms can move off farms and affect the health of people who have no connection to farming.
Livestock MRSA has always one of the best cases for establishing that, because the drug to which it showed the greatest resistance, tetracycline, wasn’t used against human MRSA in the Netherlands, but was used routinely on farms — so the only place the strain could have picked up its unique resistance pattern was in pigs. (Here’s my long archive of posts on pig MRSA, dating back to my bookSuperbug where the story was told for the first time.) Just to get them high up, here are some Danish news sources; this sees to have been a widely covered story. Danish isn’t one of my languages, so I’ve relied on Google Translate — not the best practice, but there’s enough agreement among the stories that I am comfortable with it in this case.
The Information: “Filthy use of antibiotics”Kvalls Posten: “Resistant swine bacterium has killed three Danes”DR DK: “Politicians are worried about swine bacteria”Avisen: “Three Danes die of swine bacteria”Ekstra Bladet: “Three died from killer bacteria from pigs”Fyens: “University hospital physician: Three died of swine bacteria”
The first way in which this is odd is that this story emerged not from government public health data but during the trial of two journalists, who in 2010 disclosed the names of farms that had been found to be harboring ST398 (alternatively called CC398). The names were published in a long, tough investigative article that accused the government of capitulating to the agricultural industry by gathering data on the presence of MRSA — which was very rare in Denmark — but not publishing it. The journalists, Kjeld Hansen and Nils Mulvad, are being prosecuted for violating the farmers’ privacy. (As a US journalist grateful every day for the First Amendment, the prosecution disturbs me greatly. William Heisel at Reporting on Health has also written about this.

Investigative Reporting Denmark MRSA out of control: Hazardous multidrug-resistant bacteria jumps from mink to humans By: Kjeld Hansen | 04/11/2013 In 2009 the first human case of MRSA-infection by mink was registered in Denmark. Since 2011, twenty-four more cases have been identified, creating fears that the drug-resistant bacteria, normally transferred through pigs, are now also easily transferred from mink to people. Mink i bur by Nettverk for dyrs frihet (Net. for Animal Freedom), on Flickr permalink Captive mink in Denmark being bred for their fur creates fear for spreading MRSA to people. Humans infected with MRSA, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, can cause serious outbreaks on the skin, respiratory tract and the urinary tract. Infections with the bacteria, resistant to antibiotics and therefore very difficult to fight, can last for years. The symptoms of infection depend on the part of the body infected. Skin infections may result in redness, warmth, swelling, painful lesions (sores), boils and blisters. Persons can have the bacteria in their lungs and then have symptoms of a respiratory illness: fever, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue. Infections can also occur in surgical wounds, burns, catheter sites, and in the blood. Sometimes persons may be....

The journalists listed a dozen Danish pig farms as MRSA sources.
Two Danish journalists are facing criminal charges from the federal government in Denmark for their reporting on the MRSA bacteria.
Four years ago, in October 2010, Nils Mulvad and Kjeld Hansen wrote on the website Aabenhedstinget.dk about two children who had contracted MRSA in the city of Løgstør. Staffan Dahllof at Global Investigative Journalism Network wrote:
Mulvad and Hansen used the Løgstør case to show that the government had lost control of MRSA. They named 12 farms in Denmark as the sources from which the infection spread – information the authorities wanted to hide. The National Board of Health notified the police and now the two are charged for violating the Danish criminal law for publishing secret information on farmers’ health.

Categories Trial of Danish Journalists Reveals Deaths Tied to MRSA “Super Bug” By: Staffan Dahllöf | May 7, 2014 Editor's Note: Journalists Kjeld Hansen and Nils Mulvad of GIJN-member Investigative Reporting Denmark are being prosecuted for exposing the names of farms where drug-resistant "super-bug" MRSA bacteria is spreading. The case has attracted the concern of the International Press Institute and journalists worldwide. GIJN is reprinting below coverage of the case this week by Swedish daily Göteborgs-Posten. Three people have died in Denmark due to infection from drug-resistant bacteria from pigs. None of the deceased themselves had been in contact with the animals.

Pigs in Sweden are infecting humans with MRSA to such an extent that the Danish Health Care Authority Board considers pig farmers a new high-risk group for MRSA. The title is serious enough, but the fact that Danish journalists appear to have been prosecuted for making it public should make British blood run cold. Even more frightening is that we all knew about both MRSA st398 in pigs and journalists being prosecuted on the British newsgroup uk.business.agriculture.

Investigative journalism under pressure Quality in-depth and investigative journalism are under threat in large parts of the Western world, and, unfortunately, Denmark is no exception. Established media which traditionally had the commitment and organizational power to undertake such reporting is under withering financial pressure.
