An Abstract on Preventing Contamination Of Substrates and Surfaces, from Community Acquired M.R.S.A., (methycillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus) and C. diff (Clostridium difficile).
PURPOSE: This abstract is to provide the general public, information on basic prevention measures, of community acquired M.R.S.A. infections, and is not a means of substituting medical advice from a physician or a healthcare professional.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are isolates of the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus that have acquired genes encoding antibiotic resistance to all penicillins, including methicillin and other narrow-spectrum β-lactamase-resistant penicillin antibiotics.[1] The first MRSA was discovered in the UK in 1961, but MRSA are now widespread in the hospital setting. MRSA is commonly termed a superbug. MRSA may also be known as oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA) and multiple-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, while non-methicillin resistant strains of S. aureus are sometimes called methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) if an explicit distinction must be made.

Common germs, such as Staphylococcus aureus, can live up to three weeks on a dry surface and may cause skin and surgical infections, food poisoning and pneumonia, according to the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC). Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) can live on dry surfaces from seven days to four months. Clostridium difficile is another hardy pathogen that can survive in the environment as a spore. APIC also notes that contaminated environmental surfaces in healthcare facilities are a mode of transmission for multiple drug-resistant organisms (MDROs).

Although MRSA has traditionally been seen as a hospital-associated infection, community-acquired MRSA strains have appeared in recent years, notably in the U.S. and Australia.[2] The abbreviations CA-MRSA (community-associated MRSA) and HA-MRSA (hospital-associated MRSA) are now commonly seen in medical literature.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one out of every 136 hospital patients in the United States becomes seriously ill as a result of acquiring an infection in a hospital
