Often people with weakened immune systems are vulnerable. ]]> 2022-11-24 14:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2396963965 cww05 https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2396969177 Colonization begins small and evolves from the visible size of a pimple into as large a size as it can go depending on the amount of meat available and how quickly your body can get the proper medicine. ]]> 2022-11-24 14:54:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2396969177 cww05 https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2396985180 Hospital associated infection can come from an unclean hospital room. ]]> 2022-11-24 15:11:26 UTC https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2396985180 cww05 https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2396993414 Medical devices such as uterine catheters commonly disturb areas in which mrsa lay dormant. Once disturbed the hungry bacteria can get on ones hands or legs and then infect a persons vulnerable areas. ]]> 2022-11-24 15:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2396993414 cww05 https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2397003473 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. ]]> 2022-11-24 15:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2397003473 cww05 https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2397020451 MRSA is staph evolved and is simply the bacteria that survived the antibiotic treatment. The bacteria that survives can withstand the penicillin and then move on to infect more people and still remain resistant. ]]> 2022-11-24 15:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2397020451 cww05 https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2397029584 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. ]]> 2022-11-24 15:59:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2397029584 cww05 https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2397032825 Hand washing and good hygiene goes a long way in keeping this infection from spreading in both hospital and community prevention.]]> 2022-11-24 16:04:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2397032825 cww05 https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2397037565 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. ]]> 2022-11-24 16:10:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cww05/j3zzmbefqdnpykxi/wish/2397037565
