MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
Information for patients, carers and relatives
What is MRSA?
MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is a common germ which lives harmlessly on the skin and in the lining of the nose. It can be found on up to a third of the population without their knowing or coming to any harm. This is known as colonisation. There are times when it can cause a mild infection of spots or boils. Rarely it can cause severe diseases such as wound infections or infection of the bloodstream (septicemia).
