what causes the staph infection MRSA?

Answer 1

It's an antibiotic-resistant staph infection -- common in healthcare facilities because staph regenerates itself for survival so it has found a way to be resistant to almost all antibiotics.

Answer 2

Usually it starts out as a small infections but the body for what ever reason at the time can't fight it off and it becomes bigger and turns to staph. There are many differanyt kinds of staph but MRSA is one of the worst ones, and the body has a very unusually hard time fighting it. It most likly with take a course of several medications to rid ythe body of it. I have seen MRSA is surgical wounds that would not heal or the tissue underneath became infected and out of control for the body. It is pretty nasty virus

Answer 3

MRSA is a nosocomial infection - it is acquired while receiving medical care. For example, a caregiver does not wash their hands in between caring for a patient with MRSA and the next patient.
MRSA can enter the body through an open wound, the GI or GU tract, or even the respiratory system.

Answer 4
