With MRSA, it can infect hospital of multi resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), originally Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium out of the ordinary. Keep up on the field with thought-provoking pieces from Bizzi & Partners. It can occur almost anywhere on the skin and in the nasopharynx of people. But only in some cases, the bacterium raises a disease – mostly in hospital patients. The Internet health portal imedo.de informs about the bacteria that makes the hospitalization of a risk. The bacterium of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, abbreviated often with the letters MRSA, remains unobtrusive, as long as humans have an intact Imunsystem. A patient is sick and weakened, benefited the bacterium: it spreads and can become the cause of skin infections and various life-threatening diseases. There is thus no MRSA virus, or hospital virus, but only a MRSA infection, which can lead to pneumonia, as well as muscle disorders and blood poisoning.

Resistance of MRSA In contrast to other bacteria is the MRSA resistant to drying out and thus able to survive long on dry surface. A particular risk of MRSA is that it produces a penicillin-binding protein, which causes an immunity to certain antibiotics. While other Staphylococcus aureus strains are sensitive to antibiotics, doctors struggling to combat the MRSA and infected mortality is high. Kills 700 people as a result of infection with the causative agent. Colonization by MRSA is only dangerous when doctors in the course of the life of MRSA can prove over half of all people. 20 percent of all people are even permanently affected by the bacteria. These colonizations are generally not dangerous for the host and also occur in perfectly healthy people. Often only by chance, doctors determine that patients carry the bacteria in their bodies. Can the contact with colonized persons for weakened patients However, pose a risk because they can become infected and get sick. MRSA is transmitted from humans to humans and a single handshake or contact with an object, a MRSA Kolonisierter touched, is sufficient to transmit the pathogen.
