MRSA is immune to almost every antibiotic so hygiene is the key. Stop it spreading. Hospitals can use automatic doors or put hand wash next to the pull/push doors. Make sure the cleaners do a great job every time they clean. Use latex gloves if you're a doctor or nurse. Hygiene is all you have to worry about.
