1.MRSA is Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that causes infections in the different parts of the body.its tougher to treat than compared to most of other strains because it has more resistance.
It actually causes the mild infections on the skin,like sores,boils,and abscesses.but it can also cause more serious skin infections or infect surgicalwounds the blood stream and urinary tract.
sometimes the MRSA called as "super bug" MRSA generally start as swollen,painful red bumps that might resemble pimples
symptoms:The affected area is warm to touch,full of pus,accompained by a fever sometimes the bacteria remain confined to the skin.But it can burrow deep into the body,causing potential life threatening infections in bones,joints and lungs
different kind of Staphylococcus aureus bacteria are present they commonly called as "staph" staph bacteria commonly found on the skin or in the nose of about 1/3 of the population
ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE:
MRSA is the result of decades of often unnecessary abtibiotic use.For years antibiotics prescribed for the cold,flu and other viral infections that don't respond to these drugs.because they cant destroy every germ they target.so germs can survive tretment with one antibiotic learn hoe to resist to others.
The risk factors of this MRSA differs HA-MRSA & CA-MRSA
