Why mrse no need to isolate. ...can it spread to other people ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Do you mean MRSA?: MRSA, is a type of bacteria that has evolved to resist many antibiotics, including methicillin. The bacteria can be present, and not pose a problem, on healthy people, but if it leads to an actual infection, it can be difficult to treat. Therefore, precautions must be taken to prevent the bacteria's spread to someone who could get infected with it.
