While MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is a type of bacteria that can infect humans, pyometra is a serious uterine infection in female dogs and cats, typically caused by bacteria like Escherichia coli or Staphylococcus species. A person with MRSA could potentially have a compromised immune system, making them more susceptible to infections, but pyometra itself is not transmissible from pets to humans. It’s important for pet owners with MRSA to maintain good hygiene and consult a veterinarian if their pet shows signs of illness.

How can someone get MRSA from a person who was treated and cured?

While the disease caused by MRSA may have been cured, it doesn't mean that the person doesn't carry any MRSA germs on his or her body. Many, many people are colonized with MRSA -- it lives on them without causing disease. "Cure" in the case of a MRSA-related rash or boil means that the skin problem is cured, but not that all MRSA has been eliminated from the person. A related question: how do you know that you're not colonized with MRSA yourself?

How long are you contagious with mrsa before you show signs?

MRSA (methylcillian resistant staph aureus) is a staph infection that is resistant to most antibiotics. There are many kinds of staph germs. If you have MRSA your infection will not "look" any different than someone with non-MRSA staph. A person can "carry" the MRSA germ without ever actually having the infection. If they have an open wound, the germ can infect it (via touch/contact) and cause the wound to have a hard time healing until super strong antibiotics are used. Once someone has MRSA, they are considered "positive" always. Summary: You can be "contagious" and NEVER show symptoms.

If someone is cured of MRSA after 5 months in the hospital can it come back and is he still infectious?

Yes it can com back. MRSA will stay with you for your whole life and surface at different times. When MRSA is treated it is usually because it has infected a wound. Once the infection has been treated and the pt is released their med history will contain somethingalong the lines of "history of MRSA" signifying that the MRSA may resurface and warning health care providers to take precautions.
