Infectious Diseases Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,

Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.

If I am your doctor I correct your statement that it is MRSA or Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus. It is Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to antibiotics routinely prescribed. It is not Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD). It can be spread by the sharing of towels, bed sheets, napkins, blankets. If you have to clear it you have to take the treatment with Mupirocin antibiotic. It is a long procedure it is carried out by Microbiology Laboratory near to you.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
