Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

The topic of this blog will be about eradicating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (pronounced MER-sah). I spent the summer working at an HIV primary care clinic and was horrified by the number of MRSA infections patients presented with and the resulting pain and frustration. While antibiotics, nasal ointment, and chlorhexidine body washes were frequently prescribed by providers, patients repeatedly developed new absesses infected with MRSA despite compliance with these treatment recommendations. Thus, I think it would be extremely valuable to further explore the the literature on the topic, particularly with regards to clinical practice.
