Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA): Prevention and Treatment
Health Care-Associated MRSA

Facilities like hospitals, clinics, and other places delivering health care are often common sources for patients to pick up MRSA if they have weak immune systems. Patients and live-ins are susceptible if they have an open cut or wound or intravenous line under the skin, are older in age, or have multiple ailments or conditions leading to compromised immune systems. Simply being in contact with numerous individuals in the same area can increase the spread among workers and patients.
