POPSParents panic over MRSA "Dr. Arjun Srinivasan, an epidemiologist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says extreme measures to 'disinfect' an environment such as a school really are not the most important procedure in controlling the transmission of MRSA. Dr. Srinivasan says while it is understandable that people are concerned it must be emphasised that MRSA is a common cause of skin infection and almost all of these infections are readily treated by commonly available antibiotics and by draining the lesions. Dr. Srinivasan says that hand hygiene is by far the best means to prevent the spread of all diseases. Experts say the key to dealing with MRSA is early diagnosis and then the completion of a full course of antibiotic treatment. The public needs to watch for wounds that do not heal and are not helped with normal antibiotic treatment."

POPSStaph fatalities, may exceed AIDS deaths Washing the hands is one of the main habits to be remembered, particularly among medical staff. one of the most common means of transmission, is in a place like an outpatients ward, where one case of the bug, can be spread across a ward due to being carried on hands, or wiping nose, without using the antiseptic wash that is in most hospital basins. This basic habit is being stressed again in training hospitals. They may need to develop new strains of antibiotic to deal with it. There are remarkable examples of antibiotic chemicals produced naturally, by creatures for their own defense.
