Mersa or MRSA is a variation of staphylococcus aureus bacteria which has developed resistance towards the antibiotics that are commonly used by doctors to cure any kind of infection caused by the common bacteria. Methicillin- resistant bacteria developed over time due to the negligence of patients taking the full course of antibiotics that was prescribed by their doctors.


This type of bacteria are also known as superbug which is considered to be flesh eating as it can cause necrotizing fasciitis. If not treated at an early stage it can infect other parts of the body and become fatal.



In today’s society these bacteria have become more dangerous than the AIDS virus as people are unknowingly contracting it in hospitals, community centers, schools and other places. It has spread into the environment and has become a community malice as healthy people have become carriers of this bacteria.


The best way to save oneself from the onslaught of the MRSA bacteria is to take preventive measures like proper hygiene, washing the hands, not using the things of other people and getting immediate treatment for any kind of infection.


Transmission Mode of MRSA Infection
The transmission of MRSA bacteria is very easy as it can be transmitted through contact of skin which is very normal occurrence in everyday life. These bacteria can be easily transmitted from one person to another in the places where people come in direct skin contact with one another by being engaged in different types of activities like in the gymnasium, children playing in the schools, using the items used by other people like razors, towels, combs and other items. Nowadays hotels have also become the places from where these bacteria can be easily transmitted.


The transmission of MRSA bacteria can also take place by touching those objects which have been used by people who have MRSA infection. The infection is not only confined to human beings but can be found in animals so it can be easily transmitted through the pets in the house who can be the carriers of these bacteria. It has been found that the entire MRSA transmission takes place through direct contact rather than being airborne so it can be prevented by maintaining proper hygiene.
