Preventing the spread of MRSA and HA-MRSA is the best answer to fighting this painful and sometimes deadly virus. Since it is almost always spread by touch, the most important thing to do is thorough and frequent hand washing with soap and water or alcohol based hand sanitizer.

MRSA and HA-MRSA is a serious infection that left untreated can become fatal without fast and proper medical care. Those infected can be treated with antibiotics specifically chosen to fight MRSA. The infected sites can be drained and other treatments can be done to greatly increase the odds of healing and survival. Temporary isolation of the patient may be necessary until the infection is under control.
