MRSA: Whatisit, how I't Ols transmitted, and how to prevent getting I't MRSA infection is caused by the Staphylococcus aureus bac- teria (commonly called staph). MRSA stands for methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It's a strain of staph that's resistant to broad- spectrum antibiotics. All of us have staph and other bacteria growing on our skin as part of our normal flora. If we sustain an injury to our skin that allows these bacteria entry into our bodies and our im- mune systems are weakened due to illness or age these nor- mal bacteria can cause an in- fection. 3 Due to over use and improper use of antibiotics, "super bugs" 3 like MRSA have developed. Infections of MRSA are closely associated with persons who have a history of multiple hos- pitalizations or that reside in a health care facility. MRSA is host coninionly tr<eInsn'titted frorn- person to per- son. by direct contact. It Can also Ise tralisn-litted by com ng in co.t.-aact with eoritalTli.nated stdiices or medical equiprneylt. The most effective ways to prevent the spread of MRSA are: 0 Put on disposable gloves before coming in contact with someone's skin 0 Wash your hands often (especially after coming in contact with another person's skin or secretions) Soap and water are the best, but hand sanitizers will help until you are able to get to a sink. 0 Any equipment used on a patient should be cleaned with a disinfectant before being put away. 0 In order to prevent the development of "super bugs", if you are prescribed an antibi- otic take all of the medication. Do not stop taking it when you start feeling better. If you have any questions or concerns about possible expo- sure to MRSA please contact one of the HEMT supervisors or an appropriate medical facil- ity.
