Know about the hospital based MRSA infection

Hospitals are only for patients not for Visitors:

The Indian culture is such that it values relations and gives much importance to friends, family and social relations hence when ever we have moments of happiness, joy or sadness, sorrows, people gather in large number shows their solidarity to the individual and the family in general.

One such bacteria is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a dangerous bacteria which causes skin infections, in addition to skin infections, the bacteria will also cause many other types of deadly infections. There are several other variants for these bacteria according to where the bacteria are acquired by patients, such as Community-Acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA), Hospital-acquired or Health-care-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA), or epidemic MRSA (EMRSA), are the major notified variants.

Although the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria had been causing infections in humans for quite long, as long since the existence of human race, but, the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria has a relatively shorter history compared to the Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA was first noted in 1961, about two years after the antibiotic methicillin was initially used to treat Staphylococcus aureus bacterial infections and other infectious bacteria. Scientists had discovered that the resistance to methicillin was due to a penicillin-binding protein coded for by a mobile genetic element termed the methicillin-resistant gene.
