The designation hospital or community MRSA simply means where the person was infected. Basically, a person is infected either a) in the hospital or b) anywhere else but the hospital.
MRSA.
MRSA, in my mind, is the worst bacterial infection. I had a relative die from a MRSA infection caught in an OR in a Hospital, and had a relative visit the OR in a hospital (not the same Hospital where it was transmitted in the OR) and also caught MRSA. Forbes (see related link) lists several deadly bacteria which includes 1 fungal infection as well.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a significant public health concern in Georgia, as it is across the United States. While exact prevalence rates can vary, Georgia has reported higher-than-average rates of MRSA infections compared to many other states, particularly in healthcare settings. Surveillance data indicate that both hospital-associated and community-associated MRSA cases occur, emphasizing the need for continued monitoring and infection control measures. Public awareness and preventive strategies are crucial in managing the spread of MRSA in the community.
yes
Many people in the community carry MRSA, and it is easily transferred in hospitals. With the high rate of carriage and transmission, it is inevitable that MRSA will enter hospitals.
No, their immune system is so low it wont fight the MRSA, stay away!
You can be treated in many places the hospital, doctors office, urgent care. It is important to treat MRSA as it can be very dangerous to ones health.
Yes, Most definitely why would you want to infect your baby. I work in a hospital and as soon as a patient comes in with mrsa we put them in isolation. if you want to learn more Google mrsa you will be so surprised.
Its actually MRSA (Methycillin Resistant Staphlococcus aureus) also know as ORSA (Oxacillin Resistant Staphlococcus aureus). MRSA is the most common nosocomial infection (infection acquired in the hospital). MRSA enters through cuts and wounds om the skin.
There is a huge difference. When MRSA enters into bloodstream can infect any place in our organic structure because bloodstream is present all over our body. That is especially dangerous and when we add immunity to antibiotics result is very serious infectious disease and threat to our organic structure.
Yes and no. MRSA is a specific type of staph infection - MRSA is an acronym for Methicillin resisant Staphylococcus aureas. It denotes that the specific Staph organism has developed resistance to an antibiotic which is commonly used to treat skin and soft tissue infections. Because of this resistance, MRSA infections are harder to treat. For some reason, MRSA organisms are also frequently more virulent, meaning they cause worse infections. Currently, there are two different types of MRSA, hospital acquired and community acquired. These are denoted as HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA. HA-MRSA are more frequently the more virulent variety and are resistant to more antibiotics, while the CA-MRSA organisms are easier to treat and usually cause only boils and folliculitides, rather than systemic infections and pneumonias, like the HA-MRSA. MSSA, methicillin sensitive Staph aureas, is still the most common form of staph infection in most parts of the U.S. and can be treated pretty easily with many different types of antibiotics.
