What else can I help you with?
Broken skin and MRSA?
Broken skin is how the MRSA infection is transmitted.
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.
Can you donate blood if you have MRSA?
If you have any form of contagious and/or infectious disease, you cannot donate blood until you have absolutely no trace of the disease in your system.
How does a unharmful staphylococcus turn into MRSA?
MRSA stands for methicilin-resistant staph aureus. MRSA is a type of staph, and a MRSA infection is a kind of staph infection.
What if your spouse cheated can you get MRSA from that?
I guess you "could" get MRSA from your cheating spouse, although MRSA is not commonly spread sexually.

no

Have you heard of an infection called Marsha?
It is mrsa infection. :)
Can stress lead to MRSA infections?
Stress won't lead to a MRSA infection.
Are repeated MRSA infections in a toddler serious?
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
