What is MRSA Infection ? MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infection is a bacterial infection caused by Staphylococcus aureus that has become resistant to many of the antibiotics commonly used for the treatment of a staphylococcus infection (and is consequently called "the superbug")....
Hospital-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) is a common cause of surgical site infections (SSIs). Rising numbers of infections are being seen in the general population due to community associated (CA)-MRSA strains, distinguishable by the unique methicillin resistance locus SCCmec type IV. We hypothesized ...
MRSA can cause sepsis, which is an infection of the blood. Any bacterial or viral infection can cause sepsis, which is a severe infection of the blood that can be life-threatening or fatal. Severe MRSA infections of the skin, sinuses, or upper respiratory system can overwhelm the body's i...
A deadly complication of MRSA is a deep infection,necrotizing fasciitis, which causes rapid spread and destruction of human tissues. Some but not allstrainsof MRSA are more likely to behave like "flesh-eating bacteria." It is impossible to predict which MRSA infection will be "flesh-eating." ...
What are the symptoms of MRSA? Symptoms of a MRSA infection depend on where the infection is. If MRSA is causing an infection in a wound, that area of your skin may be red or tender. If you have pneumonia, you m...

In Europe, MRSA remains a public health priority, as it is a leading cause of thepostoperative wound infection. MRSA is thereforemonitored in humansand antimicrobial susceptibility is reported in EU Member States (MSs). Meat is generally not considered a source for human acquisition of MRSA, but...
