What else can I help you with?
Is there a cause for MRSA?
When it comes to a cause to MRSA, it normally starts with antibiotics Overuse And Improperly.
Can you identify a possible risk of overuse of antibiotics?
bacteria and fungi will become immune to them, causing infections such as MRSA.
MRSA mutation process?
Bacteria have the ability to mutate and become resistant to elements that are attempting to destroy them, such as antibiotics. As a result of abuse and overuse of antibiotics, there are not antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA and VRE. Even though antibiotics have become less effective in destroying these mutated superbugs, Manuka Honey is not being used to kill MRSA and effectively treat Staph infections.

Why is MRSA rsistant to antibiotics?
Overtime, MRSA has evolved and developed the ability to destroy certain antibiotics antibacterial activity before they kill the MRSA. However, there are still antibiotics that can still be effective against MRSA, these antibiotics include:ClindamycinDaptomycinDoxycyclineLinezolid (Zyvox)MinocyclineTetracyclineTrimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Bactrim DS, Septra, Septra DS)Vancomycin (Vancocin, Vancoled)
What are the antibiotics to avoid if you are have MRSA?
sulfamethoxazole-tmp
What is an mrsa?
mrsa means multiple resistant staphylococus aureus. Is a bacteria which is resistant to several antibiotics
How has MRSA evolved?
It has become resistant to many antibiotics.
Why is MRSA methacillian resistant?
MRSA is hard to treat because it's resistant to some commonly used antibiotics.
Can mrsa get in your bones?
yes if you let mrsa go for to long it will get in your bones and joints and spread throughout the body until proper antibiotics are given
How does the development of MSRA illustrate how adaptation and natural selection can lead to the development of new strains of microorganisms?
MRSA developed as its ancestors were stressed and mostly killed by antibiotics. Some few individuals had a resistance to these antibiotics and survived. These resistant individuals then had offspring passing on this resistance. We can see survival of the fittest at work and its results because bacteria reproduce so rapidly.
Can you catch MRSA if you are on antibiotics?
Yes you can. MRSA is a multi drug resistant Staff aureus bacteria. If you are on an antibiotic that the MRSA is resistant to, then it's as if you not taking any antibiotic. Keep in mind that the reason we have MRSA is because of the widespread use of antibiotics. We often use them unnecessarily for viral infections. These constant exposures allow the bacteria, not just this one, to adapt and survive.
