yes if so they will die This is not true. Dog and cats can get MRSA. They can be carriers (colonized) like humans or they can get active infections. If they are carriers, this means the organism lives on them but does not cause illness, but it could be passed on to humans. If they get infections they may have skin wounds or boils that need to be treated by a vet. In severe cases and infections, it could lead to death.

No actual proof has been shown of the disease being spread to dogs, but it is possible. Consult your vet for more information to be positive.

MRSA is still very rare and will not be in the air. Some studies do talk of the 'MRSA' cloud that can be around an MRSA sufferer, who is ill enough that they do not move very much.
