What is MRSA?
MRSA Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics. Staph aureus bacteria is carried by 1 in 3 people. Many people carry or are colonised by staph bacteria, have no symptoms and only suffer an infection when they have another illness, wound or graze. Antibiotics tamed staph but eventually multidrug resistant staph emerged (MRSA). Many come in contact with MRSA via hospital treatment and about 1% of the population now carry it. Community Acquired MRSA (CA MRSA) is a different type of MRSA. It mainly causes skin infections and can be treated by more drugs. It does spread faster and can do more damage than the hospital strain to those it infects. (MRSA, sometimes called mersa,mursa or msra, is not a virus. Viruses need to infect something to keep on living. Bacteria can exist on their own for months)
