9. MRSA: What Is It? (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
MRSA is a “Staph” infection
It does not respond to some antibiotics
It is treatable
Like other infections, this can be deadly if left untreated
Severe infections can be prevented by following proper hygiene and early detection and treatment
Staphylococcus Aureus ("staph") infections have been around for many years, causing mild to severe illness. CA-MRSA stands for Community Acquired Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, a form of staph infection that does not respond to routine treatment with some commonly-used antibiotics, although other antibiotics are effective.
Approximately 25-30% of healthy people may carry staph and only 1% carry CA-MRSA. Staph bacteria are often carried on the skin or in the nose of healthy people, most of the time these bacteria do not cause a problem. Staph is passed from person to person through direct contact with skin or through contact with contaminated items. Staph can enter the body through breaks in the skin and can sometimes cause infection. The most effective way to prevent staph infection is to practice proper hygiene, such as washing hands and caring for wounds properly.

10. MRSA: What Does It Look Like?
Mild infections may look like a pimple or boil and can be red, swollen, painful, or have pus or other drainage and are usually mildly infectious and easily treated. More serious infections may cause pneumonia, bloodstream infections, or surgical wound infections.

11. MRSA: What Are We Doing?
FCPS Certified Athletic Trainers provide information to all athletes specific to MRSA during the athlete meetings at the beginning of each season. Included in this session:
Prevention strategies for staph and other communicable diseases.
Importance of proper personal hygiene and clothes washing.
Importance of bringing all questionable lesions to the attention of the certified athletic trainer immediately.
The FCPS Athletic Training Program includes the use of a cleansing product for wound care that contains 4% w/v chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) which specifically targets MRSA and provides a continuous action to kill MRSA on contact for 6 hours.

12. What Can You Do
