MRSA Support is a support group for sufferers of MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphyllococcus Aureus) and their dependents. MRSA is a bacterium which is relatively harmless under normal conditions. Problems occur when it gets into the bloodstream through a cut or broken skin, particularly if the immune system is weakened, because MRSA can in certain instances be fatal.
Due to the overuse of antibiotics over many years this bacteria has evolved to be resistant and there are now only two antibiotics which will deal effectively with this bug, and both need to be administered intravenously.
MRSA Support was formed to provide practical and moral support to all involved with MRSA and to campaign for a cleaner approach to hospital hygiene.
Members of MRSA SUPPORT have published a booklet aimed at helping hospital patients and visitors to defend themselves from picking up the MRSA bug. For a free copy, please send a Stamped Addressed C5 Envelope.
