Well i have MRSA on my skin and i got pregnant and they said it would not hurt the baby so i can only tell you that ,i am not sure about respiratory MRSA.
you can catch diseases, such as MRSA. this will kill you. beware.
MRSA I'm assuming you meant. This stands for methicillin resistant staphalococcus aureaus. This bacteria is transmitted by re respiratory tract or by an infected wound. Others may have it in their urine but one must have an open wound or available mucus membrane for entry
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.
If you mean MRSA (ORSA) infection, the respiratory tract, open wounds, intravenous catheters, and the urinary tract are sites for infection.
Respiratory System
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.
Some, but not the common cold.
No it cannot live in water. However, MRSA can be spread via surfaces such as a shower wall or handle or a swimming pool hand rail. It is usually spread via contact with a surface that has it on it or by touching a sore of an individual that is contaminated. Jump in the pool, lake etc etc, the water is safe in terms of no MRSA in the water itself. There is also a respiratory version so if someone sneezes on you.......
Septic (sepsis) MRSA means that the MRSA bacteria has entered into the blood.
MRSA is strain of Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria which has develop immunity to several antibiotics (beta-lactam). In case that person get MRSA infected wound probably will be swollen, red, tender and with yellow pus seeping from it. Pressure ulcers and other ulcers show often exact location of MRSA. In any case try to keep calm and don't panic because from time to time even with classic symptoms of MRSA it is still possible to have only regular Staph infection. MRSA can be confirmed only by visiting medical practitioner who would probably do culture on the drainage from infected area.
MRSA colonized resident means that the person is a carrier of the MRSA bacteria.
