Snap Disinfectant Cleaner Kills MRSA

MRSA has been in the news for the past two years, with outbreaks in hospitals, gyms and schools. MRSA or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is a constantly-adapting bacteria that is resistant to several antibiotics including methicillin, penicillin, amoxicillin, oxacillin and others. MRSA is spread by contact, either with an infected person or by touching objects that have the bacteria on them. MRSA outbreaks are most common in hospitals, nursing homes and health care centers, amongst people with weakened immune systems. The rates of MRSA infection are rapidly rising in hospitals around the world, causing nearly 60% of staph infections in U.S. hospitals, especially in intensive care units.

MRSA is most often found as a skin infection like a boil or abscess and is commonly mistaken for a spider bite. For more information on MRSA, check out WebMD, they have a comprehensive overview of MRSA, what causes it, how it’s spread and what symptoms to look for.
