Answer 1

Staphylococcus aureus is a type of bacteria that frequently inhabits the skin or nostrils of healthy people and can cause minor skin infections.These minor infections occur when the bacteria enter through cuts or abrasions in the skin. However,Staphylococcus aureus can also have major healthconsequences,such as pneumonia, infections of the blood, and surgical site infections.
MRSA is a more serious form of bacteria that is resistant to commonly used antibiotics called beta-lactams, including methicillin and oxacillin. The risk of acquiring a MRSA infection is greatest among people treated in the health care system, but
it can be acquired in the community.
MRSA can be difficult to treat and may require a lengthy stay in hospital. In some cases, it can lead to serious health problems such as blood poisoning and infectionsof the lungs, bones or the heart valve.

Answer 2

There is no flesh eating MRSA! Anywho, in the chest, MRSA can lead to pnumonia (number of reasons for this, won't go into them). If you do have MRSA you really should be in isolation and on antibiotics (IV).

Answer 3

I totally agree with M M. Ace explanation! MRSA can get into your bloodstream where it will cause septicemia. In your respiratory system it can cause pnuemonia.

Answer 4

You have Methycillin Resistant Staph Aureus.You need IV antibiotics and isolation.You also need frequent chest x-rays to make sure pneumonia doesn't develop.
"The flesh eating kind" is a strep infection. These are totally
different.

Answer 5

It is very dangerous and highly contagious, folks in nursing homes get it.
U need to go to the hospital and let them IV you til it is cleared up
or u are a target to spread it to the public.

Answer 6
