MRSA

  • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that causes infections in different parts of the body.
  • It's tougher to treat than most strains of staphylococcus aureus because it's resistant to some commonly used antibiotics.
  • It is usually spread in the community by contact with infected people or things that are carrying the bacteria.
  • This includes through contact with a contaminated wound or by sharing personal items, such as towels or razors, that have touched infected skin.

The patient is in Isolation

  • Isolation means the state of being in a place or situation that is separate from others.
  • In order to prevent the spread of germs, the persons who come in contact with the infected person should wear personal protective equipments like gloves,mask,gown etc as part of Isolation precautions.
