Change your white coat regularly as Methicillin Resistance
Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) can spread by wearing a dirty white coat.
“Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)
is a bacterium
responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections
in humans. It is also called oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
(ORSA).[1]
MRSA is any strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has
developed, through the process of natural
selection, resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, which include the
penicillins
(methicillin,
dicloxacillin,
nafcillin,
oxacillin,
etc.) and the cephalosporins. Strains unable to resist these
antibiotics are classified as methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus,
or MSSA” –Wikipedia.
