New Hot Spots For MRSA
Typical healthcare related staph infections include surgical site infections, bloodstream infections, pneumonia, and urinary tract infections. Often referred to as a superbug, MRSA has been known by doctors and scientists since 1961, when it was first discovered in the United Kingdom. Since then its presence has been felt worldwide, with a marked increase in cases in the United States within the past ten years.
