As the runoff flows, it may pick up loose material on the surface, such as bits of soil and sand. Runoff is likely to cause more erosion if the land is bare. Plants help hold the soil in place. The runoff water in Figure below is brown because it eroded soil from a bare, sloping field.

MRSA have many virulence factors that enable them to cause disease in normal hosts. For example, MRSA are frequent causes of healthcare-associated bloodstream and catheter-related infections. MRSA are also an emerging cause of community-associated infections, especially skin and soft tissue infections and necrotizing pneumonia. Limited treatment options. Vancomycin and two newer antimicrobial agents, linezolid and daptomycin, are among the drugs that are used for treatment of severe healthcare-associated MRSA infections.
