Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA): Prevention and Treatment
Community-Associated MRSA Prevention Methods

The general public is susceptible to contracting infectious diseases, especially when in the constant presence of others, particularly large groups. Everyone should keep all open wounds covered and only allow them to be drained by professionals. Frequent hand-washing and avoiding shared use of personal items like soap, towels, and toothpaste is also required to prevent the spread of bacteria. Keeping fingernails short will also help prevent potential open skin from occurring on oneself or others.
