- Two kinds of MRSA:
- Hospital acquired-MRSA (HA-MRSA)
- Multi-drug resistant, most commonly seen in ventilator associated pneumonia, post operative infections, and catheter associated infections
- Community acquired-MRSA (CA-MRSA)
- Tends to be resistant to beta-lactams, most commonly seen in Skin and Soft Tissue Infections and rarely in necrotizing pneumonia
- Hospital acquired-MRSA (HA-MRSA)
Risk Factors
- multiple skin sites
- recurrent infection
- pt who has been in close contact of person with Hx of MRSA
- infection showing early necrosis
