Why is it so hard to keep MRSA out of hospitals?
Many people in the community carry MRSA, and it is easily transferred in hospitals. With the high rate of carriage and transmission, it is inevitable that MRSA will enter hospitals.
Can you work in public if you are MRSA carrier?
No MRSA is contagious and they close hospitals down for it :)
How come most don't catch MRSA?
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.
Can you get MRSA if there isn't an outbreak?
Yes. MRSA is present everywhere. I continually care for patients who are in isolation precautions due to infection with MRSA - therefore an outbreak has not occurred however individual patients are fighting the infection.
How do hospitals get money?
Hospitals get money from the patients, they get donation.
Can bactracin work on MRSA?
Co-trimoxazole is a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, a sulfa drug. It is usually useful for the MRSA that is contracted outside of hospitals.
What Percentage of people are infected with MRSA more than 2 Days after their arrival at Hospital?
Reasonably high, which is why you want to get out of the hospital as soon as you safely and comfortably can. Surgical patients are far more susceptible than Medical patients. Bear in mind that MRSA is treatable -- it just requires different planning and treatment. Exact statistics on this are hard to come by, but I've heard as many as 30% (which I think is WAY high and very unlikely) may experience post-surgical MRSA. Don't worry -- it's treatable.
