Has anyone had MRSA, its short for an antibiotic resistant staff disease.?
Question:
Answers:
MRSA, pronounced "mersa" is short for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It is a very common noscomial (hospital acquired) infection. There have been more cases recently of it being acquired in the community as well, from salons, prisons and the like.
MRSA is resistant to most penicillin and synthetic penicillin derived antibiotics. It is susceptible to vancomycin and a few other of the newer antibiotics. It is very treatable, but can be stubborn. It is important that whatever antibiotic given to treat it should be taken until all the doses are all gone. This avoids the risk of it becoming resistant to vancomycin or whatever else is used on top of methicillin/penicillins.
