MRSA
MRSA is short for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA bugs are resistant to multiple antibiotics, not just one, making them a dangerous and potentially life-threatening germ; they pose a significant risk in hospitals, nursing homes, jails, and other environments where people are particularly vulnerable to infections. In recent years, several studies have found that these bacteria can also end up in the sands and waters of both marine and lake environments.
