MRSA is present in all walks of life, people carry it quite happily without it ever causing a problem for them. It may interest you to know that for every 100 Accyweb members at least 25 of us will carry MRSA somewhere on our bodies which will not cause us any problems unless we have an operation or serious illness, this is known as colonisation. Bacteria are very clever and can mutate to become resistant to modern treatments, eg antibiotics but there is a massive difference between being colonised and being infected.
