Answer 1

Answer for 1 :—-

Local manifestation of  Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection   Staph skin infections, including MRSA, generally start as swollen, painful red bumps that might resemble pimples or spider bites. Infection may be limited to the upper layers of the dermis, e.g., cellulitis, or may involve deeper structures, e.g., soft tissue abscesses.

The affected area might be:

• Warm to the touch
• Full of pus or other drainage
• Accompanied by a fever

Answer for 2 :- systemic manifestations

When MRSA infection spreads beyond these areas to involve the bloodstream, systemic (body-wide) symptoms occur. These can include fever, chills, low blood pressure, joint pains, severe headaches, shortness of breath, and widespread rash.

they can also burrow deep into the body, causing potentially life-threatening infections in bones, joints, surgical wounds, the bloodstream, heart valves and lungs.

Answer for 3

Doctors diagnose MRSA by checking a tissue sample or nasal secretions for signs of drug-resistant bacteria. The sample is sent to a lab where it's placed in a dish of nutrients that encourage bacterial growth. But because it takes about 48 hours for the bacteria to grow, newer tests that can detect staph DNA in a matter of hours are now becoming more widely available.
