MRSA is an abbreviation for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. There is no particular time when it is contagious. It is spread like any bacteria through coughs, touching infected items, and more.
MRSA is very contagious. As MRSA infections are visible on the skin, the infection can be spread from one person to another through touch. But keep in mind that probably 30% of people in the US carry MRSA normally without it causing infection.
MRSA, sometimes referred to as Mercer, is a HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS life threatening infection, requiring medical attention and rigid treatment to cure as well as prevent it's spread!!! Read more here: http://answers.yourdictionary.com/medical/what-causes-mercer-disease.html
Respiratory MRSA is extremely contagious. However, in order for a person to contract this infection, the infected person would need to cough in the non infected persons face.
No MRSA is contagious and they close hospitals down for it :)
MRSA is a contagious bacterial infection that spreads through direct skin to skin contact with people, or by touching contaminated surfaces, however MRSA can also move through air. People with active MRSA or Staph infections are more contagious, but even MRSA carriers who are not infected can spread it to others causing infections.

yes if you let mrsa go for to long it will get in your bones and joints and spread throughout the body until proper antibiotics are given

Yes, MRSA is contagious. MRSA is a skin condition that can potentially threaten your life if you don't receive the right treatment.
MRSA (methylcillian resistant staph aureus) is a staph infection that is resistant to most antibiotics. There are many kinds of staph germs. If you have MRSA your infection will not "look" any different than someone with non-MRSA staph. A person can "carry" the MRSA germ without ever actually having the infection. If they have an open wound, the germ can infect it (via touch/contact) and cause the wound to have a hard time healing until super strong antibiotics are used. Once someone has MRSA, they are considered "positive" always. Summary: You can be "contagious" and NEVER show symptoms.
If you have any form of contagious and/or infectious disease, you cannot donate blood until you have absolutely no trace of the disease in your system.
MRSA is a type of bacterial agent that is highly contagious and which can put healthcare workers at an increased risk of infection. MRSA stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and it is also known as the super bug.
Yes, MRSA can still be contagious on a dead body. If you have to handle or come into contact with a dead person who had MRSA, precautions such as a face mask and gloves should be taken until the body has been taken care of to make sure that it is no longer contagious.
MRSA or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium responsible for difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It is said to be highly contagious. Although it is not justified by scientific research but it is said that it can be transmitted by a mosquito bite.
no because that is not a good reason for denial of visitation rights if he and his family have the mrsa staff infection then all other people would have it to then not just them if it was contagious
