May 13, '12 by blondy2061hQuote from canned_breadHow did you differentiate MRSA from MSSA?When studying nursing at uni we did a test in science class. We all swabbed our buttocks, nares and underarms, and then they were cultured. A good 7-8/10 of us had MRSA! Makes me wonder what percentage of susceptible patients get MRSA from health care providers! - Asst. Admin

May 13, '12 by sauconyrunnerQuote from blondy2061hthats a good question blondy! I imagine that it would be too expensive for the school to do sensitivities on all of those samples. Heck for some organisms we only do the sensitivities for drugs we plan on using!How did you differentiate MRSA from MSSA?
to the OP: you can clear MRSA. are you colonized, or just infected? - Guide
