MRSA, short for Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is a type of Staph infection that is resistant to common antibiotics. MRSA and Staph infections are a growing problem in both healthcare settings and the community. These contagious infections can be hard to treat, may worsen quickly and often lead to chronic recurring infections and can be deadly especially in the elderly and people that have bedsores, pressure ulcers also known as decubitus ulcers.Antibiotics are the standard medical treatment for Staph or MRSA infections. Unfortunately, antibiotics are often unsuccessful against MRSA and can cause many negative side effects. Frequent diagnosis errors, treatment delays and ineffective prevention measures can further complicate the healing and recovery process.
