Question:

What does it mean to colonized by MRSA and what do i need to do in the future?


Answers:

MRSA is methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. It is a type of bacteria that is highly resistant to antibiotics. It even shows resistance to vancomycin, which is known as a drug of last resort. MRSA can cause very serious, sometimes fatal infections. Most people contract MRSA during hospital stays because equipments are not sanitized, but you can also get it from gym equipment, and I can't recall what else since I'm trying to remember off the top of my head.
