Overview

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of staph bacteria that has become resistant to many antibiotics and other treatments. It is an increasingly common cause of infection in healthcare settings, and is a serious public health concern. MRSA is spread through coming into contact with someone who is infected, or through touching surfaces that have been contaminated with the bacteria. It can cause skin, urinary tract, and respiratory infections, as well as dangerous and life-threatening conditions such as sepsis. To help prevent the spread of MRSA, it is important to practice good hygiene, clean regularly, and use correct infection control procedures. If a MRSA infection is suspected, healthcare providers can diagnose it using lab tests and treat it with antibiotics or other medications.
