What is does MRSA stand for? Why is MRSA considered a threat to public health?
MRSA stands for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus and is a strain of bacteria that is resistant to the broad-spectrum antibiotics used to treat it. MRSA can be fatal and occurs mostly in hospital patients and nursing-home patients with compromised immune systems. Recently, community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) occurred among healthy people in the community, as opposed to care facilities, and causes skin infections, soft tissue infections, and a serious form of pneumonia (Mayo Clinic, 2009).
