No MRSA is contagious and they close hospitals down for it :)
MRSA colonized resident means that the person is a carrier of the MRSA bacteria.
MRSA is also known as the super bug. The meaning of an MRSA carrier is someone who either has the MRSA infection or someone who carries the bacteria but doesn't show any signs of illness yet they can still pass it onto others.
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.
Most probably answer to your question would include next: Colonized by MRSA means that particular person has this germ in or on a body site,but has no clinical symptoms of MRSA. It is possible that same person is a temporary or longer term carrier of this type of disease.

A person can be a carrier of MRSA (in the groin and other areas of the body such as the nose and throat) but not be infected. MSM (men who have sex with men), with MRSA in the groin, and anal sex usually causing tears in the anus (vaginal sex usually doesn't cause tears in the vagina), the bacteria transmits through the anal cuts and infects the person.
In 1993, there were approximately 1,600 deaths attributed to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in the United States. MRSA is a type of bacteria resistant to many antibiotics, making infections difficult to treat. The numbers have varied over the years, but it was during the early 1990s that MRSA began to gain attention as a significant public health concern.
