you can catch diseases, such as MRSA. this will kill you. beware.
Yes you can. MRSA is a multi drug resistant Staff aureus bacteria. If you are on an antibiotic that the MRSA is resistant to, then it's as if you not taking any antibiotic. Keep in mind that the reason we have MRSA is because of the widespread use of antibiotics. We often use them unnecessarily for viral infections. These constant exposures allow the bacteria, not just this one, to adapt and survive.
It is USUALLY spread in hospitals because healthcare professionals are not washing their hands or stethoscopes between patients. However keep in mind that MRSA is a naturally occurring bacteria and can be found in many environments.
Septic (sepsis) MRSA means that the MRSA bacteria has entered into the blood.
MRSA colonized resident means that the person is a carrier of the MRSA bacteria.
MRSA stands for methicilin-resistant staph aureus. MRSA is a type of staph, and a MRSA infection is a kind of staph infection.
does MRSA cause bacteria
MRSA can be in saliva.
No. MRSA is resistant to Amoxicillin.
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.
There is a product called PureGreen 24 (just do a google search for it). which is supposed to be effective at killing MRSA. It says it works on non-porous surfaces, but perhaps if you saturated the fabric of the sofa it would at least help. The company will answer questions as well if you call them. I bought and use the product after my kids had MRSA.
