MRSA is a contagious bacterial infection that spreads through direct skin to skin contact with people, or by touching contaminated surfaces, however MRSA can also move through air. People with active MRSA or Staph infections are more contagious, but even MRSA carriers who are not infected can spread it to others causing infections.

Can Staph be cured?
depends, some strains of the bacteria contain a unique gene that allows them to break down a large number of the antibiotics we would normally used to treat that type of infection, these strains are called methicillin resistant staph aureus (MRSA) and they most certainly are a super bug other strains do not have this gene and are called methicillin sensitive staph auresus (MSSA) and these are no worse than any other bacteria the problem being that hospitals are seeing more and more MRSA and less and less MSSA, it is the bacterial species evolving in front of our eyes in response to the continued use of antibiotics against them
Is staph an air borne disease that lives on your bodies?
Staph, or Staphylococcus, is a family of bacteria that is very virulent, contagious, and even possibly infectious. What makes staph so dangerous is that it is very resistant to antibiotics. Though staph is not generally considered an air-borne disease, there is some debate that MRSA, thought it usually is spread through contact with open sores, can remain viable on dry counters for several hours, that it may be spread by close proximity to someone that is infected by breathing the same air. More research needs to be done to determine the avenues of transmission to be sure if it can be spread through the air.
