MRSA In the LungsYes, MRSA, (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), which is caused by the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, more commonly called "staph," can be found in the lungs and can cause serious, and even fatal, pneumonia.
MRSA
MRSA is a serious bacterial infection. In extreme cases it can cause loss of limbs or even death.
Absolutely. But this is a very vague question. MRSA or methicillin-resistant staphyloccus aureus (MRSA) is indeed serious in and of itself because it is an infection that requires very strong antibiotics and has resistance to the most common, penicillin and its derivatives. However, within this realm of serious infections, there is a large spectrum of illnesses. An uncomplicated cellulitis (skin inifection) is one example of a lesser MRSA infection whereas a case of MRSA septicemia (infection in the blood) is often fatal. Any infection that has strong resistance to commonly used antibiotics is a serious and potentially catastrophic illness, regardless of where the site of infection is. Most often, MRSA is found in repeated infection sites. Hope this helps. Jordan Safirstein, MD www.StopPagingMe.com
Where can MRSA be found?Hospitals.Health care settings.School's.Locker rooms.Physical Education settings.I hope this helped you1
MRSA is similar to a staph infection, albiet more serious
The throat is a location in the body that MRSA bacteria lives (another location is the nose and groin areas). Although having the bacteria in these locations, doesn't necessarily mean a MRSA infection. MRSA infection can spread into the throat and cause serious conditions.
In the lungs.....:)
HIV's are found everywhere.
Only if the MRSA is present in the semen due to an infection of the penis or urethra.
Salvia is found in the mouth
Some antimicrobial factors found in saliva are:lysozyme (also found in tears)peroxidaselactoferrin
