The Problem of Drug-Resistant Staff
Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, is form of Staphylococcus aureus. Infection with MRSA can cause painful skin and soft tissue conditions and, if untreated blood infections or bacterial pneumonia. Hospital-acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) is increasingly common due to lack of following sterile procedures, the great number of open wounds/medical procedures, and a higher number of immuno-compromised patients.[1] Approximately 31.8 MRSA infections per 100,000 people were estimated to have occurred in 2005, translating to 94,360 total infections. 86% of these were hostpial-acquired.[2]
