Through a variety of ways including but not limited to : skin-to-skin contact (such as in sports like Wrestling), obtaining from a non-living vector (such as a wrestling mat), sharing of personal property in an unclean environment (such as a towel in a locker room), or not covering or treating an open wound.
Sure can - the following link may be of interest and will educate on MRSA: http://www.medicinenet.com/mrsa_infection/article.htm
Many people in the community carry MRSA, and it is easily transferred in hospitals. With the high rate of carriage and transmission, it is inevitable that MRSA will enter hospitals.
MRSA is a contagious bacterial infection that spreads through direct skin to skin contact with people, or by touching contaminated surfaces, however MRSA can also move through air. People with active MRSA or Staph infections are more contagious, but even MRSA carriers who are not infected can spread it to others causing infections.
Yes.
yes you can this is why people admit to a healthcare facuity is put on isolation because mrsa is VERY contagious
Everyone is susceptible.
While the disease caused by MRSA may have been cured, it doesn't mean that the person doesn't carry any MRSA germs on his or her body. Many, many people are colonized with MRSA -- it lives on them without causing disease. "Cure" in the case of a MRSA-related rash or boil means that the skin problem is cured, but not that all MRSA has been eliminated from the person. A related question: how do you know that you're not colonized with MRSA yourself?
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.
