In a patient with MRSA does the patient have to be quarantined and do people have to wear special clothes when visiting?
A patient with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) may have to be quarantined, and visitors, if permitted, may have to "gown up" and be careful visiting. The most common vehicle for transmission is touch (though it is usually a healthcare worker's). A link is provided to the Wikipedia article to get you up to speed, or at least get you started on the learning curve. Good luck.
Can a hospital refuse to admit a patient with MRSA?
Yes, a hospital can refuse to admit a patient with MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) if they determine that admitting the patient poses a significant risk to other patients, staff, or the hospital environment. However, federal laws like the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) require hospitals to provide emergency medical treatment regardless of a patient's infection status. In practice, hospitals often have protocols in place to manage infectious diseases while ensuring patient safety.
What are the treatments for MRSA?
There are two main treatments of MRSA. The first is drainage of the wound, and thorough debridement of the area. The second part of the treatment is antibiotics, though these must be carefully chosen by the physician as MRSA tends to be resistant to some of the most common antibiotics. The patient MUST take the antibiotic according to instructions in order for the treatment to be effective.
What is the most deadly bacteria?
MRSA, in my mind, is the worst bacterial infection.

Forbes (see related link) lists several deadly bacteria which includes 1 fungal infection as well.

Septic (sepsis) MRSA means that the MRSA bacteria has entered into the blood.
