Mrsa stands for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus is a bacterial infection resistant to antibiotic methicillin. Staphylococcus aureus, sometimes referred to simply as “staph,” or “staph A” is commonly found on healthy peoples’ skin. If the bacteria gets into the body it causes minor infections like boils or pimples while serious infections such as pneumonia or blood infections.

The most common antibiotic used is methicillin. Though it is very effective on most staph infections, some have developed a resistance to it and are no longer affected by it. The resistant bacteria are called methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus or MRSA.

What are the symptoms?

The symptoms are no different from the other types of Staph bacteria. The skin appears red and inflamed around wound sites. Serious cases may include fever, lethargy, and headache. MRSA also causes urinary tract infections, pneumonia, toxic shock syndrome, and even death.

How long do MRSA infections last?

Healthy people carry the bacteria in their nose or skin for weeks or even years. Some can sometimes effectively remove MRSA from their bodies even without treatment, however, the bacteria can return, if the individual undergoes antibiotic therapy.

Are there other antibiotics?

Yes. While it is resistant to many antibiotics and can be difficult to treat, some antibiotics can cure MRSA infections. However here is the problem. How long will it be before this cunning bacteria work its way around these other antibiotics?

How to cure or prevent Mrsa?

Did you know that taking 1000 to 3000 mg per day of vitamin C is a great aid to wound healing? This water soluble vitamin/antioxidant cannot be stored by the body, therefore it needs to be continuously replenished through our diet. There are other natural “from the kitchen remedies” that can be used as well for the cure and prevention of MRSA.
