Rep Power: 0 | Re: Staph Infection ? YES and NO...If you use appropriate sanitation systems I would say no,however that means the entire room... it is a bacteria as you will see in the info below.. transmitted physical contact. you can get from touch, towels, work rooms, door handles..etc.. so..if you have a radio box in your room and the bacteria is on the box..I would probably guess you can get it... Also HEAT kills this bacteria..Remember UV light kills some bacteria, remember some industry use UV lite boxes to sanitize implements..so..We use ECOlab to disinfect our beds, walls, door handles, radio covers, chairs, google..etc..Then we over kill with Lysol spray on surfaces poss. touched by clients... You can call your local health dept and they can fill you in on the latest.. MRSA is a type of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Staphylococcus aureus, often referred to simply as "staph," are bacteria commonly carried on the skin or in the nose of healthy people. Some S. aureus are resistant to the class of antibiotics that are frequently used to treat staph such as methicillin-and thus are called methicillin-resistant S. aureus(MRSA). Who gets MRSA? S. aureus (staph) including MRSA can be spread among people having close contact with infected people. MRSA is almost always spread by direct physical contact and not through the air. Spread may also occur through indirect contact by touching objects (e.g., towels, sheets, wound dressings, clothes, workout areas, or sports equipment) contaminated by the infected skin of a person with staph bacteria or MRSA. Just as S. aureus can be carried on the skin or in the nose without causing any disease, MRSA can be carried in this way also. This is known as colonization. MRSA infections are usually mild, superficial infections of the skin that can be treated successfully with proper skin care and antibiotics. MRSA, however, can be difficult to treat and can progress to life-threatening blood or bone infections because there are fewer effective antibiotics available for treatment. MRSA infections occur commonly among persons in hospitals and healthcare facilities. However, MRSA can cause illness in persons outside of hospitals and healthcare facilities as well. Cases of MRSA infection in the community have been associated with recent antibiotic use, sharing contaminated items, having recurrent skin diseases, and living in crowded settings. Clusters of skin infections caused by MRSA have been described among injecting drug-users; aboriginals in Canada, New Zealand and Australia; Native Americans in the United States; incarcerated persons; players of close-contact sports; men who have sex with men (MSM); and other populations. Most of the transmission in these settings appeared to be from people with active MRSA skin infections. Hope this helps.. |
