MRSA (methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus) is a type of staphylococcus bacteria (staph) that is resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics.MRSA is contagious and can cause life-threatening infection. MRSA isnât found in the natural environment (soil or water).ome strains of staph developed resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics. It is estimated that 2 percent of the population now carry a strain of staph that is resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics. Most of the staph infections that now occur in hospitals are caused by MRSA.
Vasopressin is used to treat diabetes insipidus, which is caused by a lack of this naturally occurring pituitary hormone in the body. Vasopressin is also used to treat or prevent certain conditions of the stomach after surgery or during abdominal x-rays.
Vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH), is a neurohypophysial hormone found in most mammals which is also used as a medication. In most species it contains arginine and is thus also called arginine vasopressin (AVP) or argipressin. Its two primary functions are to retain water in the body and to constrict blood vessels.
