10. Oakton H.S. Athletic Training Program MRSA: What Is It? MRSA is a �Staph� infection It does not respond to some antibiotics It is Treatable Like other infections, this can become serious if left untreated Severe infections can be prevented by following proper hygiene and early detection Staphylococcus Aureus ("staph") infections have been around for many years, causing mild to severe illness. CA-MRSA stands for Community Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, a form of staph infection that does not respond to routine treatment with some commonly-used antibiotics, although other antibiotics are effective. Approximately 25-30% of healthy people may carry staph and only 1% carry CA-MRSA. Staph bacteria are often carried on the skin or in the nose of healthy people, most of the time these bacteria do not cause a problem. Staph is passed from person to person through direct contact with skin or through contact with contaminated items. Staph can enter the body through breaks in the skin and can sometimes cause infection. The most effective way to prevent staph infection is to practice proper hygiene, such as washing hands and caring for wounds properly.
