MRSA
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, commonly known as MRSA, is a strain of Staph infection that is highly resistant to most antibiotics.
Method of Transmission
MRSA can be spread via person-to-person contact, through airborne transmission, or by touching objects and surfaces contaminated by someone with MRSA. MRSA can enter the body though the respiratory tract or via cuts, sores, and other openings on the skin. MRSA is generally classified into two categories.

Complications
MRSA can stop at a skin infection, but if left untreated, can move on to infect the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Serious cases of MRSA can lead to blood poisoning, cellulite, infected heart valves, Pneumonia, and Toxic Shock Syndrome. MRSA can infect the lungs, heart, and bloodstream, resulting in serious medical complications.
Treatment
Depending on the severity of your infection, draining the MRSA sores on the skin may be the only treatment necessary. More serious MRSA infections may require the use of Antibiotics. HOWEVER, MRSA came to be when a normal staph bacteria became resistant against most common modern antibiotics. There are still a handful of antibiotics that still work on MRSA, but in time MRSA may develop a resistance to these as well. The best cure is Prevention. Use hand sanitizer frequently, cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and follow good health practices. If you or someone you know has a weakened immune system, from medical work, age or disease, you may want to look into the Bio-Spray decontamination treatment services.
