Health care professionals then send encrypted data about the patients to the clinical data registry through a highly secure web portal or from their electronic health record.

90 days or 3 months: It depends on the host's immune system, interaction with other bacteria and environmental circumstances, exposure to antibiotics but generally MRSA can live up to 90 days or 3 months.
Treatment and antibiotic resistance: MRSA infections are difficult to treat because meticillin is the best therapeutic option for S. aureus infection. To compound matters, MRSA in hospitals is usually resistant to a wide range of antibiotics in addition to meticillin and the other Ã-lactam antibiotics. Vancomycin remains the mainstay of treatment for MRSA. Thus, the emergence of vancomycin-resistant S. Aureus(VRSA) is a serious concern.
