Today, most healthcare institutions fear the Healthcare-Associated Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (HA-MRSA) risk to both patients, the visitors and indeed their dedicated staff. Please find here a short video that explains the Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus that is often refered to as Multiple-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus or simply MRSA.
The video (4min 17sek) puts focus on several critical issues, but mainly the spreading of the very harmful strains and how to reduce the risk mainly by proper use of hand wash and disinfection of hands; the use of disposables instead of re-useable products and finally the increasing risk to mankind by the widespread resistance to big groups of vital anti-biotic medicines; such as penicillin and similar – otherwise – lifesaving treatments.
