What is a MRSA or staph infection and what are the treatment options for these serious infections?

Staph. aureus is a common bacteria found on the skin, in the nose and upper respiratory tract. Approximately 30% of the population carries staph bacteria and about 1% carries a strain of staph called MRSA, Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. One particularly bad side to MRSA is that it is resistant to most antibiotics commonly used to treat staph infections.

There are two types of MRSA: Healthcare-acquired (HA-MRSA) and Community-acquired (CA-MRSA). HA-MRSA can manifest as skin infections, surgical site infections, and serious internal infections such as septicemia and pneumonia. CA-MRSA has become the most frequent cause of skin and soft tissue infections seen in emergency rooms in the US.

Those MOST at risk for MRSA include anyone with a weakened immune system, anyone who has been recently hospitalized or in a hospital, or anyone who has had a medical procedure such as dialysis, surgery or catheters.

Several bad sides to MRSA include:

• MRSA is resistant to most antibiotics
• MRSA is very contagious
• MRSA can affect the young and old a like
• MRSA can change form and go into hiding inside the body for long periods of time
• MRSA can build a protective biofilm around itself so just when you think you’re rid of it – maybe you are and maybe you’re not

The good news is, a Microbiologist by the name of Michelle Moore has been through the ups and downs of having staph infections and she shares her trials and errors through her book, MRSA Secrets Revealed.

This book is excellent. It explains MRSA and staph, how you get it, how to keep from getting it, and how to deal with it if you do get it.
