Methicillin-resistant-staphylococcus-aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by the bacteria called staphylococcus aureus, which leads to skin infections in mild form and respiratory diseases in severe form.

  • Hospital-Acquired MRSA – is associated with infections that are caused due to exposure to hospital or nursing home environments.
  • The infection can be caught through direct contact or contaminated hands.
  • Sometimes touching used surgical instruments or infected bedsheets can also pass on the infection leading to severe pneumonia or blood infections.
  • Hence, people hospitalized for longer durations, live in nursing homes, or visit hospitals regularly without protection are prone to get a staph infection.
  • Hospital acquired MRSA often causes severe symptoms compared to community-acquired MRSA due to prolonged exposure to bacteria.
