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.
No MRSA is contagious and they close hospitals down for it :)
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.
They can be a problem because we use antibiotics and antiseptics too freely and actually select for the antibiotic resistant forms such as MRSA. How can we then control 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.
Septic (sepsis) MRSA means that the MRSA bacteria has entered into the blood.

MRSA colonized resident means that the person is a carrier of the MRSA bacteria.
