yes if you let mrsa go for to long it will get in your bones and joints and spread throughout the body until proper antibiotics are given
MRSA is a very tough cootie. It can survive in organic and inorganic surfaces for more than 100 days.
6 to 3 weeks
Septic (sepsis) MRSA means that the MRSA bacteria has entered into the blood.
Clothes Show Live was created in 1989.
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.
MRSA colonized resident means that the person is a carrier of the MRSA bacteria.
MRSA stands for methicilin-resistant staph aureus. MRSA is a type of staph, and a MRSA infection is a kind of staph infection.
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.......
does MRSA cause bacteria
No. MRSA is resistant to Amoxicillin.
MRSA can be in saliva.
