Respiratory MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is primarily spread through direct contact with an infected person or contaminated surfaces. It can also be transmitted via respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Individuals in close quarters, such as hospitals, nursing homes, or crowded living situations, are at higher risk. Poor hygiene and weakened immune systems also increase susceptibility to infection.
