Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. (2009). National MRSA education initiative: Preventing MRSA skin infections. http://www.cdc.gov/mrsa/mrsa_initiative/skin_infection/index.html. Retrieved October 28, 2009.
This website is an invaluable resource for people wanting to know more about MRSA skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs). It includes information about transmission, signs and symptoms, complications, treatment modalities, and prevention strategies. It also provides numerous pictures of different types and stages of SSTIs and offers materials for consumers as well as health care providers.
Mayo Clinic. (2009). MRSA infection. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/mrsa/DS00735. Retrieved November 26, 2009.
This website provides useful information for consumers, using simple and accessible language. It covers topics similar to the CDC website, but in much less detail. It also provides a few pictures.
WebMD. (2009). Understanding MRSA (Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus). http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/understanding-mrsa-methicillin-resistant-staphylococcus-aureus. Retrieved November 26, 2009.
The WebMD website has an effective layout and appears to provide accurate information. This is my least favorite site of the three, but as numerous americans utilize WebMD, I thought I should review their site on MRSA. It includes accessible information about MRSA infection, prevention, signs and symptoms, treatment, etc.
