==Background==
{{MRSA background}}
Suspect MRSA infection/carrier in patients who present with:
#multiple skin sites
#recurrent infection
#pt who has been in close contact of person with Hx of MRSA
#infection showing early necrosis
#two kinds: hospital acquired and community acquired (see [[CA-MRSA]]
##Hospital acquired tends to be multi-drug resistant, most commonly seen in ventilator associated pneumonia, post operative infections, and catheter associated infections
##Community acquired tends to be resistant to beta-lactams, most commonly seen in soft tissue infections and rarely in necrotizing pneumonia


==Prevention==
==Management==
# good hand hygiene
*Treatment/resistance is different for each type; check specific page
# avoid sharing personal items with carriers
# wash common household items with bleach and hot water
# wash soiled sheets, towels, clothes in hot water with bleach and dry in hot dryer
# Eradicate carriers:
# mupirocin 2%: apply to each nostril TID x 5days
# Hibiclens wash daily x 5 days
# consider oral antibiotics 


==Treatment==
==List of MRSA Antibiotics==
# Antibiotics
{{#ask:[[Has MRSA::S]] |format=ul }}
## [[Cephalexin]] + [[Bactrim DS]]
###Estimated 95-100% sensitivity of CA-MRSA
## [[Clindamycin]]
###Approximately 50% sensitivity to CA-MRSA
###Inducible resistance by erythromycin in laboratory, unclear significance
## doxycycline
###Contraindicated in pregnant females and children due to deposition in teeth and bones
## [[Vancomycin]] IV if severe infection/sepsis
##Linezolid
###Indicated in severe soft tissue infections and pneumonia thought to be caused by [[CA-MRSA]] or HA-[[MRSA]]
# [[I&D]] if [[abscess]]
##(antibiotics not needed if no e/o [[cellulitis]])
