Types of MRSA Superbug

Filed Under General | Leave a Comment

MRSA is a staph infection, which is resistant to most antibiotics. With there being two basic types of this Superbug, which are:

  1. Healthcare Associated (HA)
  2. Community Associated (CA)

These two types are referring to where MRSA was contracted from.

Healthcare Associated MRSA (HA-MRSA)

Often called Hospital Acquired MRSA, HA-MRSA is usually picked up from a hospital stay. Until recently, most MRSA cases were contracted in hospital or healthcare environments, like nursing homes and dialysis centers. Hospital patients with open wounds, invasive devices like catheters or IV’s, and weakened immune systems are at greater risk for a HA-MRSA infection than the general public. HA-MRSA is still a big problem for those undergoing hospitalization. Unfortunately, hospital staff that do not follow proper sanitary procedures inadvertently transfer bacteria from patient to patient. Some hospitals screen for MRSA and isolate such patients, but most US hospitals do not yet do this.

If you are visiting a hospital soon, or are going to be an inpatient in a hospital, be sure to learn the facts about MRSA infection, how to protect yourself and your family, and how to control the spread of MRSA in these environments.

Community Associated MRSA (CA-MRSA)

Until recently, hospitals were the most likely places that you would get MRSA. The biggest MRSA health risk right now is Community Associated MRSA. CA-MRSA is an infection that occurs in healthy people who have not been hospitalized within the last year. CA-MRSA also applies to people who acquire MRSA who’ve not had any medical procedure done within the last year in a health-care facility such as dialysis, surgery, or catheters. CA-MRSA is acquired in public places by touching or sharing things that have not been properly cleaned such as:

In places like:

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association (AMA), CA-MRSA has become the most frequent cause of skin and soft tissue infections presenting to emergency departments in the United States. CA-MRSA infections are usually skin infections, such as abscesses, boils, cellulites and other pus-filled lesions.

MRSA Infections In Children

Although those suffering from MRSA will know that it is a very grave threat to both unhealthy as well as healthy people, there is an alarming rise in MRSA infections in children. This rise is mainly attributed to the weak immune systems in children. Consider the fact that one of the most prominent locations for the spread of MRSA is a hospital and that many of the children admitted here have very weak immune systems and it is not at all surprising to find that MRSA infections in children are on the rise. About 33% of the time, in all those diagnosed with MRSA and pneumonia, there has been reported cases of influenza as well. Staph is a test to a person tormented by influenza, but the risks are also much greater in those countries where the MRSA virus is quite drug resistant.

It is often noted that these resistant forms of MRSA are usually being seen in young people as well as in children. Doctors state that the average age of those infected by such pneumonia is around 17. It has been quite troubling to find that in a recent survey conducted on neck infection in children showed that MRSA infections in children had nearly doubled from a minute 11% in 2001 to over 27% by the end of 2006. The problem with this is that many of the authors state that this is only a 16.3% increase when actually it should read as a 16.3 percentage point increase. This only shows the lack of enthusiasm with which the infection problems have been taken up.

If you suffer from MRSA infection in the nose, the best thing that you can do is to go about building your immune system so that it becomes much stronger. The most important point that has to be remembered is that normally neck infections are not part of the MRSA infections in children, but yet the study conducted showed otherwise implying that the bug is expanding its range.
