MRSA is also known as the super bug. The meaning of an MRSA carrier is someone who either has the MRSA infection or someone who carries the bacteria but doesn't show any signs of illness yet they can still pass it onto others.
you can catch diseases, such as MRSA. this will kill you. beware.
sure
yes you can this is why people admit to a healthcare facuity is put on isolation because mrsa is VERY contagious
ask someone who cares
Yes you can. MRSA is a multi drug resistant Staff aureus bacteria. If you are on an antibiotic that the MRSA is resistant to, then it's as if you not taking any antibiotic. Keep in mind that the reason we have MRSA is because of the widespread use of antibiotics. We often use them unnecessarily for viral infections. These constant exposures allow the bacteria, not just this one, to adapt and survive.
No, their immune system is so low it wont fight the MRSA, stay away!
While the disease caused by MRSA may have been cured, it doesn't mean that the person doesn't carry any MRSA germs on his or her body. Many, many people are colonized with MRSA -- it lives on them without causing disease. "Cure" in the case of a MRSA-related rash or boil means that the skin problem is cured, but not that all MRSA has been eliminated from the person. A related question: how do you know that you're not colonized with MRSA yourself?
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.
It is USUALLY spread in hospitals because healthcare professionals are not washing their hands or stethoscopes between patients. However keep in mind that MRSA is a naturally occurring bacteria and can be found in many environments.
