Best Answer

"mersa" is actually - MRSA, or Methicillin Resistant Staph Aureous, a staph bacteria that is drug resistant. While Staph is typically a skin bacteria, it can take up residence and thrive (causing an infection) in other areas of your body, including your lungs. I have worked as an RN in both hospitals and home health and have taken care of people with MRSA cause pnemonia.
