BS EN 1276 Under Dirty Conditions
The term MRSA or methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is used to describe an organism that is resistant to commonly used antibiotics. If the organism is on the skin then it can be passed around by physical contact. If the organism is in the nose or is associated with the lungs rather than the skin then it may be passed around by droplet spread from the mouth and nose.
Can MRSA Be Treated ?
Due to the overuse of antibiotics over many years this bacteria has evolved to be resistant to Methicillin - which is a benchmark antibiotic. This was never actually used in its original form.
Its equivalent in use today is Oxacillin. Antibiotics which will deal effectively with this bug are now limited, research continues looking for an antibiotic that can fight this bug.
