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. 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.
