C-MRSA?? Staph?

Question

Is C-MRSA an Staph infections the same thing??WHat are they?How do you prevent it?

Answer 1

C-MRSA is a specific type of staph. All C-MRSA is staph but not all staph is C-MRSA.

Handwashing and hygiene are what you do to prevent it. Sanitize surfaces, especially high-touch surfaces such as chairs, gym equipment, etc. Do not share cloths or personal items such as razors, nail clippers, etc. Keep all cuts clean and dry. Wash hands!

Answer 2

MRSA is methicillin resistant staph aureus, there are about fifty different strains of staph, that is one of them, several strains live on our skin without a problem to us or them. As long as you maintain good hygiene and make a habit of washing your hands and keeping any wounds bandaged until healed up, there is very little risk of contracting any staph infections.
As for what they are, they are bacteria.

Answer 3

Wash your hands good after touching anything, and you can even take along some anti-bacterial wipes.
I am a nurse and work around MRSA quite a bit. We use universal precautions to gaurd against getting infected. Proper hand washing is key to keeping yourself from being exposed. Don't exchange bodily fluids with anyone, that is why we wear gloves.
I personally do not drink from public water fountains. Bring bottled water for yourself and your children.
The dirtiest places are the door knobs, buttons on soda machines, ........things that don't get a swipe of bleach very often....or ever.
Bathrooms are actually fairly clean as far as microbial growth is concerned.

All in all.... if you are basically a healthy person, you most likely will not become infected. Most of these types of infections are opportunistic. Meaning... they attack people who are run down or already sick.

You really should be more concerned about the flu this time of year as opposed to MRSA.

Prevent the Spread of Germs
Effective and frequent handwashing is essential to stopping the spread of germs. Yet, surprisingly, many skip this step after visiting the bathroom which is one of the most important times to wash your hands. (The CDC estimates 1 in 3 don't wash after using the bathroom!)

Proper Technique Takes Less Than 1 Minute
Begin by removing your rings. Push your watch up on your arm or remove it. This will allow for thorough cleaning and drying.
Adjust the water to comfortably warm temperature and rinse your hands from the wrist downward.
Apply soap either liquid or use a clean bar of soap (be sure it has a place to drain such as on a rack). Lather thoroughly.
Begin at your wrist and work downward. Scrub with friction.
Interlace your fingers and thumbs and continue scrubbing by sliding your fingers back and forth. Clean under your nails and around the nailbeads as well.
15-30 seconds of vigorous scrubbing will eliminate most transient bacteria. ("Scrubbing" for surgery or other procedures requires at least 2 minutes)
Then rinse your hands thoroughly from the wrist downward.
Dry your hands thoroughly. Paper toweling is suggested. Otherwise, fresh linens should be provided for personal use.
Use the toweling (preferably a dry section) to turn off the water and protect your hands from recontamination.
Use a clean paper towel to open the door when leaving a public restroom.
Don't forget to put your rings back on!


Always Wash Your Hands...
Before, during, and after food preparation
Before eating
After using the bathroom
After blowing your nose, or using a tissue to wipe your nose
After handling animals and /or animal waste
After changing diapers
Whenever your hands are dirty
Often if someone in your home is sick
Before and after contact with each patient

Answer 4

no longer something is one hundred% useful. As for organic herbs and such which have some antibiotic outcomes, i might want to assert raw garlic and cayenne powder. With something like mrsa, although, i might want to characterize searching a doctoer that would provide you with a more suitable useful antibiotic.

What is MRSA?
Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus is a common type of staph bacterium which lives on the skin and in the nasal passages of around 30% of the population. Mostly, this staph aureus bacterium does no harm and does not pose a problem with infection or require a cure. But, like many bacterium, Staphylococcus aureus has the ability to pose a serious infection problem, if you are feeling run down, ill, injured or if you have undergone any form of surgery. It can cause a very serious staph infection, if it enters the body, such as through open wounds, or instruments placed in the body, or by cross-contamination from another patient, nursing staff or specialist. Without proper treatment, this can lead to death or be difficult to cure.

MRSA infections are most commonly transmitted from person to person by touch. It is also possible to acquire MRSA infection from dust containing contaminated skin particles or from objects in the environment, or from surfaces that may be contaminated with the MRSA bacterium.

An antibiotic called Methicillin was used for the treatment and cure of infections caused by staph bacterium. The term 'Methicillin resistant' means that this type of antibiotic can no longer kill 100% of the staph bacterium and another antibiotic needs to be used, if available. If Methicillin can no longer be used for the treatment and cure of Staphylococcus aureus infection, it is medically referred to as MRSA.

The Causation of MRSA
Antibiotics have been in use for many years as a successfull treatment and cure for staph infections. However, these antibiotics have been overused, misused and over prescribed as a cure for staph aureus infection for many years. It is fairly common for people to not complete a course of antibiotics, or not use as prescribed. If this happens, it is probable that not 100% of the bacterium that caused staph infection will have been killed. Surviving staph bacterium develop a resistance to this antibiotic and multiply. As more and more antibiotics are prescribed, the number of staph bacterium that are able to resist those antibiotics become more numerous. The biggest problem with the use of antibiotics, is that they are non-focused. Therefore, they do not discriminate between good and bad bacteria, otherwise known as 'Flora' which can be found in the large intestines and form a large part of the bodies immune system. Without this immune system protection, 'superbugs' are free to develop.

Treatment of MRSA
MRSA can be treated with different antibiotics to Methicillin. However, this is becoming increasingly difficult. Medications, such as antiseptic wash and certain ointments can be used to remove MRSA from the nasal passages and skin. Even when it is doing no harm to the individual. However, there is now a new product that has been proven to be effective in killing all MRSA bacterium and a lot of other known pathogens. The New Silver Solution is non-toxic, proven in multiple tests at 200 times the recommended dosage. The New Silver Solution is the first colloidal silver product to attain a new patent in over 80 years. This product can be used internally, externally and as a surfectant, to both prevent and cure MRSA infection. The New Silver Solution can also be used with animals and all our test data shows it to be very effective.

CA-MRSA and HA-MRSA
Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a major cause of hospital-acquired infection (HAMRSA) that is becoming increasingly difficult to treat successfully because of evolutionary resistance to nearly all current antibiotic classes. The evolutionary origins of MRSA are not really understood. There is little collaboration done with MRSA and there is no consensus of opinion on the number of MRSA Resistant Strains or the relationship of strains emerging from different countries.

The most important factor in treatment of MRSA is the ability of killing all the bacteria present, therefore inhibiting the ability of any remaining bacteria to form a resistant strain.

Vancomycin was the "antibiotic of last resort" but resistance to Vancomycin is now arising from some of the MRSA strains. This is a depressing progression of increasing antibiotic resistance, which shows that drugs do not wipe out all the bacteria present. Doctors are now reluctant to prescribe antibiotics for the treatment of MRSA, which leaves us with nothing.

Tests on The New Silver Solution have proven to eliminate bacteria to a level where no traceability has been found. It is also safe to use for prolonged periods of time, unlike antibiotics, which are time-limited and have shown great weakness in total eradication.

The safest route for any individual, is to become immunised against infection in the first instance. If you present at a Hospital, pathogen and bacteria free, then carry on with your immunisation program during your stay and for a period after discharge, there is a very significant and highly reduced factor of infection from MRSA.

Gymnasiums and public faculties are also a breeding ground for CAMRSA - Commmunity Acquired Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. CAMRSA is also on the increase. In some countries, like Africa, Iraq and the Middle East, it tops HAMRSA by a considerable degree. Wiping down equipment and avoiding sharing personal items with others, negates the spread of infection. The New Silver Solution can be used as a surfectant, as well as being taken internally for the prevention of MRSA.

Answer 6

A study on Dry Vapor Steam Sanitzing MRSA staph, is located on our web site:http://www.imc.cc/site/index.onsite.php

Most disinfectants require 10 minute contact/duration kill times. Dry Vapor Steam cleaning requires 2 seconds to kill MRSA, and other bacteria and viruses.

Think of pasteurized milk, cooking, baking, microwave food, dryer and irons for your clothes..they all use high heat to kill microrganisms. Dry Steam Vapor is 250 degrees F, with 5% to 10% moisture content.
