MRSA: Mrsa is a problem for everyone whether in a hospital or not. It is difficult to treat and is developing more and more resistance to the new antibiotics that are being used to treat it. Overuse of all antibiotics have lead to this problem and everyone needs to understand that the more they demand antibiotics for infections that are most likely viral only add to this problem for the future.

No in community: Community acquired MRSA is spread by direct contact with a person with a CA-MRSA infection (e.g., a draining boil) or an object used by that person (e.g., sports equipment, clothes, towels, razors, etc.) Crowded living conditions and poor hygiene are main causes for spreading the disease.
