MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is considered deadly primarily because it is resistant to many antibiotics, making infections difficult to treat. This resistance can lead to severe complications, such as bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and surgical site infections. Additionally, MRSA can spread rapidly in healthcare settings and among individuals, particularly those with weakened immune systems. Its ability to cause life-threatening conditions, combined with limited treatment options, underscores its potential lethality.

What is the most deadly bacteria?

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.

How can someone get MRSA from a person who was treated and cured?

While the disease caused by MRSA may have been cured, it doesn't mean that the person doesn't carry any MRSA germs on his or her body. Many, many people are colonized with MRSA -- it lives on them without causing disease. "Cure" in the case of a MRSA-related rash or boil means that the skin problem is cured, but not that all MRSA has been eliminated from the person. A related question: how do you know that you're not colonized with MRSA yourself?
