MRSA: It's true that you need to culture an invasive MRSA infection by swabbing the pus,but MRSA can be found on the nose or on the skin in carriers who have no symptoms and require no treatment. However if you've been closely associated with those family members who died from MRSA infections, you might want to know if you're a carrier and, if so, get advice from an infectious disease specialist.
