Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)

Yes actually it is possible to get MRSA on your tongue. I am in the medical field and have seen it a few times. It is rare but it does indeed happen.

Co-trimoxazole is a combination of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole, a sulfa drug. It is usually useful for the MRSA that is contracted outside of hospitals.

If you are healthy and do not have lower immunities from an illness then you will probably not get MRSA. You need to be careful though because MRSA is bacterial infection and it can be transmitted from person to person specially if you have any open wounds/cuts. Any one coming into contact with a person with any infection should wash hands frequently to prevent the infection from spreading.

There are many ways including but not limited to : skin-to-skin contact (such as in sports like wrestling), obtaining from a non-living vector (such as a wrestling mat), sharing of personal property in an unclean environment (such as a towel in a locker room), or not covering or treating an open wound.

MRSA stands for methicilin-resistant staph aureus. MRSA is a type of staph, and a MRSA infection is a kind of staph infection.

There is more antibiotic use in health-care settings, which results in more antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria.

It is possible, but as it progresses it will turn painful and you will most likely notice it.

MRSA is NOT hereditary. It is a severe bacterial infection that is easily transmittable and requires extensive antibiotics to treat. You need to see your doctor right away. Being hereditary, is something able to be passed down genetically from one generation to another. I am not sure I understand the question. MRSA can pass on genetic factors and a lot quicker than we can. We can only possibly inherit the propensity or a greater abilty to fight off any infection. One person in the very same situation as another, may be genetically better armed to fight a MRSA infection, and thus have a greater chance to survive. So the answer is probably: Yes. Answer From my understanding MRSA is not hereditary. MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It causes an infection that is resistant to several common antibiotics. Because hospital and community strains of MRSA generally occur in different settings, the risk factors for the two strains differ. Risk factors for hospital-acquired (HA) MRSA include: * A current or recent hospitalization. MRSA remains a concern in hospitals, where it can attack those most vulnerable - older adults and people with weakened immune systems, burns, surgical wounds or serious underlying health problems. A 2007 report from the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology estimates that 1.2 million hospital patients are infected with MRSA each year in the United States. They also estimate another 423,000 are colonized with it. * Residing in a long-term care facility. MRSA is far more prevalent in these facilities than it is in hospitals. Carriers of MRSA have the ability to spread it, even if they're not sick themselves. * Invasive devices.People who are on dialysis, are catheterized, or have feeding tubes or other invasive devices are at higher risk. * Recent antibiotic use. Treatment with fluoroquinolones (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin or levofloxacin) or cephalosporin antibiotics can increase the risk of HA-MRSA. These are the main risk factors for community-acquired (CA) MRSA: * Young age. CA-MRSA can be particularly dangerous in children. Often entering the body through a cut or scrape, MRSA can quickly cause a wide spread infection. Children may be susceptible because their immune systems aren't fully developed or they don't yet have antibodies to common germs. Children and young adults are also much more likely to develop dangerous forms of pneumonia than older people are. * Participating in contact sports. CA-MRSA has crept into both amateur and professional sports teams. The bacteria spread easily through cuts and abrasions and skin-to-skin contact. * Sharing towels or athletic equipment. Although few outbreaks have been reported in public gyms, CA-MRSA has spread among athletes sharing razors, towels, uniforms or equipment. * Having a weakened immune system. People with weakened immune systems, including those living with HIV/AIDS, are more likely to have severe CA-MRSA infections. * Living in crowded or unsanitary conditions.Outbreaks of CA-MRSA have occurred in military training camps and in American and European prisons. * Association with health care workers. People who are in close contact with health care workers are at increased risk of serious staph infections. It is a staph infection that is very contagious.

MRSA is an abbreviation for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (staph aureus should be italicized). These organisms are the direct result of the misuse and overprescribing of antibiotics. Another organism of even more concern is VRSA, which is Vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Vancomycin is usually used as a last resort antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial infections, i.e. it is more potent than methicillin. Both these organsims, MRSA and VRSA, are highly resistant and of great concern in the public health sector. Keep in mind that Staphylococcus is only one bacterial strain, all bacteria have the capacity to develop resistance and furthermore transmit there resistance to other bacteria rapidly. It's quite scary and is a huge issue in public health. There's also been cases of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, if this type of TB were to become widespread or engineered into a weapon and released it could lead to massive casualty rates and essentially would be uncontrollable. The take home message is to be careful with antibiotics, you might have a viral infection. If you are prescribed them, take them in the exact manner that your doctor has outlined for you and finish the regimen no matter what. You may start feeling better before finishing your antibiotic regimen, that's great, but that doesn't mean that all the bacteria have been cleared out of your system. Antibiotics are prescribed with specific directions for a reason, the reason being to completely wipe out the invading bacteria. If you stop early, you may still have pathogenic bacteria in your system and they may develop resistance to the antibiotic you were prescribed. Your symptoms will return and relief will only come from the use of a different antibiotic. The question is: there's a limited number of antibiotic types, how long will it take the pathogen to be resistant to multiple types or all of them? Especially when you consider bacteria's rapid replication rate and horizontal gene transfer.

By evolving!

This methicillian resistant bacteria was not always that way, but as you may know every time an antibiotic is used there are always some variations of the bacteria that are resistant. They survive, reproduce and pass this resistance on to their progeny. And the process repeats so that soon, as bacterial generations are quick, you have super resistant bacteria. This is evolution by natural selection. Change in a population of organisms over time.

You need a legal certification from authorizing systems. Or, visit a plasma bank and know how they operate.

When MRSA enters the body goes directly into bloodstream and spread all over human organic structure. From person to person, MRSA can be transferred with physical contact mostly in different healthcare facilities.

it started from hospitals and animals MRSA/Multidrug Resistant Staphylococcus aureus was discovered in 1961 in the UK. It is now found worldwide. it is thought that Mrs elenor Chorley contracted it

Damage in the back would not be my first choice . . . but it could have put pressure on a major blood vessel. Leg and ankle swelling have more to do with heart disease or diabetes. You should see a doctor, very soon!

MRSA is resistant to most antibiotics so it is difficult to guess. The antibiotic best suited will depend on the results of culture and sensitivity of that particular strain of MRSA

u can never get rid of mrsa. u can take meds for it but the is no cure for it. my sister has had it her hole life she is 18. my mom has it to. u can never get rid of it.

From:mileybaby123

Uh excuse me babyboo12.There is a cure for MRSA!I have it stupid!Well I had it until they sent me to St.Jude and I got meds that got rid of my MRSA.

No, MRSA (pronounced mersa) is a resistant staphylococcus aureus infection.

Since the category is Mumps, I will assume you mean the mumps. Assuming the person was in good health before they contacted it, the mortality rate for the mumps is below 1%. While terribly uncomfortable, it is a self-limiting viral infection, and recovery is usually uneventful with good supportive care.

Yes I have had it and the doc said it was most likely froma recent cut or abraision which I had at the time of using the hot tub. It was treated with a 7 day supply of Keflex and benedryl to relieve the itching and it can be contagious to others if you rash and or bumps are weeping

MRSA is metycilin resistent staphylococcus aureus, meaning that the bacteria SA is resistant to the antibiotic metycilin(I think I wrote the name correct)

MRSA is Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus . It is a bacterial infection caused by a strain of Staph aureus which are resistant to most antibiotics and thus difficult to eradicate. It emerged in 1961 after Methicillin was used to treat this infection. It is now one of the most common Hospital acquired infections.
