MRSA is an infection generally associated with hospitals. The abbreviation stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common of the staphylococcus infections and this particular strain is very serious because it has developed a resistance to all our usual forms of treatment,a nd to our most effective one, Methicillin... a form of penicillin.

Is MRSA a virus?

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.
