MRSA is spread by contact. So, you could get MRSA by touching another person who has it on the skin. Or you could get it by touching objects that have the bacteria on them. MRSA is carried by about 2% of the population (or 2 in 100 people), although most of them aren't infected.
HIV-infected patients are at a markedly increased risk for community-acquired Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections according to a new study by researchers at John H. Stroger, Jr. majority of MRSA infections involve minor skin and soft tissue infections that are usually well treated with therapy, such as active antibiotics and drainage of infection. However, occasionally MRSA can lead to severe invasive and deadly disease, such as necrotizing pneumonia, fasciitis and bacteremia.
