Do anyone can give details about MRSA( methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus)?

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (usually spelled out as M-R-S-A, but sometimes pronounced as "Mursa"), is a bacterium responsible for difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It may also be referred to as multiply-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA). The organism is often sub-categorized as Community-Associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) or Hospital-Associated MRSA (HA-MRSA) depending upon the circumstances of acquiring disease, based on current data that these are distinct strains of the bacterial species.[1]

MRSA is a resistant variation of the common bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. It has evolved an ability to survive treatment with beta-lactam antibiotics, including penicillin, methicillin, and cephalosporins.[2] MRSA is especially troublesome in hospital-associated (nosocomial) infections. In hospitals, patients with open wounds, invasive devices, and weakened immune systems are at greater risk for infection than the general public. Hospital staff who do not follow proper sanitary procedures may transfer bacteria from patient to patient.

Golden Staph. [Aureus is from the greek or latin golden, the chemical element name for gold is au]

Starts of with harmless bacteria that lives & lays dormant on our skin and in our nose. If we get a scratch of our skin, mainly where our bodies are fleshy as in legs, buttocks, thighs, abdomen or upper arms the normal bacteria will fight off any bad bugs that try to enter the cut.

Both the good bugs inside & outside of the cut work together. However if the person comes in contact with dirt and other material/substances the bugs can't control what is happening...imagine a mog of gate crashers getting in tto stuff up the party.

Well these guys go to town in the cut then it's good bugs against bad bugs. If the person is reasonable healthy, has an good balanced diet they have a better change of fighting off the bad bugs.

Picture all the bugs fighting...good bugs surround bad bugs...this forms pus. The pus forming has to move on in the blood stream and out as waste...but sometimes as more puss is being formed it takes too long to move on.

More bugs enter, and the fight goes on, more pus formed. Our good bugs will quickly loose the fight as the pus is now forming another form of bacteria along with the bad bugs.

This is when golden staph is "created", the bacteria mixed with pus, good blood, and bad bacteria all merge and build up to form an absess, boil or what ever you like to call them.

As the pus ball grows it pushes on the outer walls and compresses the skin within itself, hence forming the hard lumpy, warm to the tough mold forming an absess. As this is pressing on nerve cells that is what causes the sever pain.

General broad spectrum antibiotics will not clear MRSA. I can't think of the name of the drug used at this time. I know if a person sufferes from this more than twice they are sometimes refered to the infectious diseased specialist.

I also have blank on the the medicated liquid which people are asked/given by doctors to assist in the cleansing on the skin.

Does that make sense...let me know if you don't understand what I have written.
