Major health organizations make it very clear: Because MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) can be transferred by person to person contact, one of the best prevention methods is good hand hygiene. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Public Health Agency of Canada recommend washing with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.MRSA is a type of staph that is usually manifested as skin infections, such as pimples and boils in otherwise healthy people and may, in some cases, cause a serious infection. It is resistant to numerous antibiotics such as methicillin, penicillin and amoxicillin. There are two types of MRSA: Healthcare Acquired MRSA (HA-MRSA) and Community Acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) The spread of MRSA occurs more frequently in some types of environments, including hospitals, schools, dormitories and even military barracks.
