From the CDC: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that is resistant to certain antibiotics. These antibiotics includemethicillin and other more common antibiotics such as oxacillin, penicillinand amoxicillin. Staph infections, including MRSA, occur most frequentlyamong persons in hospitals and healthcare facilities (such as nursing homesand dialysis centers) who have weakened immune systems. MRSA infections that are acquired by persons who have not been recently (within the past year) hospitalized or had a medical procedure (such asdialysis, surgery, catheters) are known as CA-MRSA infections. Staph or MRSA infections in the community are usually manifested as skin infections, suchas pimples and boils, and occur in otherwise healthy people. Hope they got it all. Take care.
