what are the symptoms for staph and mersa infections?

Answer 1

MRSA is an antibiotic-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus, so any of the classical staph infections also apply to MRSA, such as skin infection, pneumonia, endocarditis, etc. You can only typically get MRSA infection if you're in a weakened state, such as being hospitalized, HIV-infected, or have cancer.
