Being colonized with MRSA means you carry it in your nose or on your skin but you are not sick with a MRSA infection. If you have signs and symptoms of a MRSA infection (boil, abscess, pain, swelling) you are much more likely to spread MRSA because the infected area contains many MRSA germs.

Colonization vs. MRSA can live on the body but not make a person sick. This is called colonization. People who are colonized with MRSA will have no signs or symptoms of an infection. An MRSA infection means that the bacteria are in or on the body and are making the person sick.
MRSA is often resistant to other antibiotics, as well. While 33% of the population is colonized with staph (meaning that bacteria are present, but not causing an infection with staph), approximately 1% is colonized with MRSA.
Because MRSA carriage is most common in the nares and on the skin (particularly in sites such as the axilla and groin), MRSA decolonization therapy typically includes intranasal application of an antibiotic or antiseptic, such as mupirocin or povidone-iodine, and topical application of an antiseptic, such as ...

Colonization: presence of a microorganism on/in a host, with growth and multiplication of the organism, but without interaction between host and organism (no clinical expression, no immune response).
According to “Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine” [2], colonization is the presence of bacteria on a body surface (like on the skin, mouth, intestines or airway) without causing disease in the person. Infection is the invasion of a host organism's bodily tissues by disease-causing organisms.
