Answer 5

There are a few different ways. But you must know that almost everyone carries mrsa in their bodies it is a resident bacteria and it is also what people call opportunistic. It infects if someone is immune challenged or immune suppressed. The best way to prevent the spread of this bacteria is to wash your hands very good and thorough.

Answer 6

Methicillin (or Multidrug) Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (or MRSA) is a strain of S. aureus that resists treatment with several of the most commonly used antibiotics, including many penicillin derivatives.

S. aureus is a very common bacteria, but multidrug resistant strains are most common in hospitals, where the extensive use of antibiotic medicines and cleaning agents is proposed to have built up their antibiotic resistance. Hospitals are therefore one of the places where MRSA infection risk is highest.

Prison inmates, football players, and livestock workers are also at high risk.

S. aureus usually needs a break in the skin, such as a cut or scrape, to infect someone. Once the break is present, if there are MR strains of S. aureus present, it's possible they will infect the wound. This is one reason it is important to wash and bandage cuts, even if they seem minor.
