Is MRSA a virus?
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. An MRSA carrier who may not be ill from the bacteria but has symptoms of respitory infection that lead them to sneeze and cough can project the the MRSA bacteria all around them.
What is colonized by MRSA?
Most probably answer to your question would include next: Colonized by MRSA means that particular person has this germ in or on a body site,but has no clinical symptoms of MRSA. It is possible that same person is a temporary or longer term carrier of this type of disease.

Why do gay men contract MRSA easily?
A person can be a carrier of MRSA (in the groin and other areas of the body such as the nose and throat) but not be infected. MSM (men who have sex with men), with MRSA in the groin, and anal sex usually causing tears in the anus (vaginal sex usually doesn't cause tears in the vagina), the bacteria transmits through the anal cuts and infects the person.
How long MRSA lives on surfaces?
It depends on what variables you are considering: host surfaces (skin, nose, wound) or non-host surfaces (bandages, clothing, bed linens, other common contact objects such as door knobs, light switches, commodes, tub, phones, etc.) In a host surface a person can be a carrier of MRSA (colonized) and not even be aware, therefore spreading contimination quite unwittingly. Unfortunately, a carrier can host MRSA indefinately. MRSA can live on non-host surfaces for days, weeks, months depending on the environmental circumstances. These circumstances can include what other interactions the MRSA may be in contact with such as other bacteria in which that it may compete against / with thus killing MRSA or cultivating / transfering the bacteria. Most studies suggest / show that MRSA can live up to 90 days / 3 months. Thusly, this becomes a never-ending battle. What HAS been subjected may be unnoticed until days or weeks later thus cycling back the bacteria into a sterile field. Suggestions: research all of the mechanisms to rid the body, the home, the hospital etc. of MRSA, start the regiment of cleaning / sterilizing, and never stop until one has two "clean" MRSA swabs. Even then you are not gauranteed that MRSA won't return.
