Most of us have heard about MRSA,and many of us now know of someone who has contracted it:some of us even know of someone who has died. MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) is often noted as the “Super-Bug”. Actually,MRSA can be many strains of S. aureus bacteria (it is not a virus),and it is resistant to many antibiotics. There is a continued effort to develop more antibiotics,but it is difficult because of its evolving resistance to more and more drugs. MRSA is most likely to be contracted from hospitals (hospital-acquired infection). Some studies show a contamination rate as high as 64%. There have been random studies performed on common surfaces in hospitals,such as doors,walls in the hospital halls,and elevator buttons,and 80 %of the tested surfaces had evidence of MRSA. Many doctors and healthcare professionals are considering this a global plague –projecting over six million cases in 2010 –with a death rate of over 30 %. The major concern is the limited medical options for care and the sources of contamination that are outside of our hospitals. . . . →Read More:MRSA –Things To Know Prior To Surgery
