MRSA is spread via contact through the mucous membranes or open wounds. I can tell you from personal experience with working in hospital settings, that the vast majority of MRSA cases in hospitals (where MRSA is usually contracted) is the result of nurses and aids moving from room to room with using gloves or washing hands. I've also worked in hospital as a nurse. MRSA is now rampant, old systems of cleaning wards kept infection MRSA at bay. POOR OR NO HANDWASHING is main cause of mrsa. Doctors sthethoscops have thought to spread MRSA. All health professionals should take time to thoroughly wash hands. When youare in hospital, had surgery, immune system weakens. With an open wound mrsa spreads quickly, thus entering blood stream
