Staph infection - also known as Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)
Anyone can get MRSA. Infections range from mild to very serious, even life-threatening. MRSA is contagious and can be spread to other people through skin-to-skin contact. If one person in a family is infected with MRSA, the rest of the family may get it.
