MRSA is a superbug that originated in hospitals. This is because hospitals use large amounts of antibiotics to treat ill patitents. Due to the overuse of antibiotics in hospitals, there has been a development of antibiotic strains of bacteria. They spread easily through hospitals from Nurses/Doctors passing from patient to patient. By having high standards of hygiene (e.g, sterilised equipment, hand washing) they can eliminate this superbug!

misuse of antibiotics... mrsa stands for methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus... staph aureus is what is known as a staph infection... normal skin bacteria. Methicillin being the most powerful antibiotic against staph aureus and mrsa is just a strain that is resistant to methicillin. If an antibiotic kills 99.9% of bacteria it basically chooses that 0.1% to live... and that 0.1% would be whats called "resistant". few things kill ALL of anything. If Cyanide was used on millions of humans there "might" just might be a few that survived it, and if allowed to breed you have thus just created cyanide resistant homosapiens or CRHS. ^^ hope this helps you understand.

Many believe MRSA started by doctors liberal use of antibiotics for non-bacterial infections which caused the bacteria to become resistant to many antibiotics.

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.
