Best Answer

MRSA (methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus) is a bacterium, which is pronounced bak-teer-ee-uhm.

One thing to keep in mind is to remember that bacteria is the plural of bacterium.

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.
