Mercer, commonly known as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), is a type of bacteria that can cause infections. It is primarily transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact or through contact with contaminated surfaces. While the bacteria itself is contagious, non-contagious forms of infections can occur when MRSA is present in individuals without causing active infections. Therefore, while MRSA can be carried without causing illness, the potential for contagion exists primarily when there are active infections.
