MRSA can spread easily by people in athletics who share equipment. One person may wipe his nose and then touch the equipment without sanitizing afterwards. Meanwhile another unsuspecting athlete will not due the proper sterilization of the equipment and then get the bacteria on himself and then wipe it onto another part of his body which then burrows into the skin and causes an infection.

Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic normally used to treat colitis, an infection of the intestinal tract. Vancomycin has been used longer and proven more effective then any other antibiotic when it comes to treating MRSA.  If the infection is allowed to go to far a doctor may have to lance the site of infection to relieve pressure.

Hand washing and good hygiene goes a long way in keeping this infection from spreading in both hospital and community prevention.

MRSA dwells in warm and dark places such as the nose or armpits. The bacteria can also dwell in the intestines and therefore be active and easily spread from the anus. Once the bacteria gets digs deep enough it can get into the bloodstream or into the bones and can cause major problems with the heart and other organs and osteomyelitis which is an infection in the bone.
