The two main types of MRSA include healthcare-associated MRSA (HA MRSA), which is found mainly in hospital patients and long-term care facility residents, and community-associated MRSA (CA MRSA), which is found in those who have not had contact with healthcare facilities.
Do not attempt to drain the infection yourself – doing so could worsen or spread it to others. If you are given an antibiotic, be sure to take all of the doses (even if the infection is getting better), unless your healthcare professional tells you to stop taking it.
MRSA may look like a bump on the skin that may be red, swollen, warm to the touch, painful, filled with pus, or draining. The pus or drainage contains the infectious bacteria that can be spread to others. People with MRSA may have a fever.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a cause of staph infection that is difficult to treat because of resistance to some antibiotics. Staph infections—including those caused by MRSA—can spread in hospitals, other healthcare facilities, and in the community where you live, work, and go to school.
Like the MRSA is a multidrug resistant organism. The MRSE can be distinguished from the MRSA by its biochemical reaction to the Coagulase (enzyme which coagulates blood plasma). The MRSE is a coagulase negative. The same precautions need to be taken as that for the drug-resistant MRSA.

Sepsis and MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus) are different, although MRSA can lead to sepsis. MRSA is a very specific type of infection which may lead to sepsis. There are many other bacterial infections that may cause sepsis such as E. coli, Streptococcal infections, or Pneumococcal infections.
Where are the most common places to detect MRSA? MRSA is commonly found in the nose, back of the throat, armpits, skin folds of the groin and in wounds. The only way to know if you have MRSA is by sending a swab or a sample, such as urine, to the hospital laboratory for testing.
MRSA is usually spread in the community by contact with infected people or things that are carrying the bacteria. This includes through contact with a contaminated wound or by sharing personal items, such as towels or razors, that have touched infected skin.
