Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (/ÉmÉrÉseÉª/ or /ËmÉrsÉ/) is a bacterium responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It is also called oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA).RSA is any strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed, through the process of natural selection, resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, which include the penicillins (methicillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, etc.) and the cephalosporins.
MRSA and Staph spread most easily by touching contaminated surfaces, touching people who are infected or are MRSA âcarriersâ. MRSA is a contagious bacterial infection that spreads through direct skin to skin contact with people, or by touching contaminated surfaces, however MRSA can also move through air. People with active MRSA or Staph infections are more contagious, but even MRSA carriers who are not infected can spread it to others causing infections. While most MRSA infections used to come from hospitals, community MRSA infections are spreading rapidly in places where children, teens and adults spend their time.
