Been dealing with mrsa and septic shock ( got to a point where I went into shock 3 times in 3 months and had to rush to ER monthly as my skin has been burning off for two years and I'd been referred to every doctor and specialist in my city (Savannah) for two years I was told it was just acne and was given all the wrong meds.

This has been a possible life saver thank you so much for the education as the doctors around here have failed me and almost cost me my life. I am starting the last anti-biotic they can try on me today! Soz trying to make sure I do everything right!!! God bless

My father is presently hospitalized with MRSA pneumonia. He spent 7 weeks in an acute care facility post surgery. I hope MRSA patients can have improved outcomes through education. Thank you for your series.

[sacrisanti]

thanks for the video- I'm not in med school, I'm an engineer/programmer, but i survived MRSA (cavitary) pneumonia (as well as going fully septic with it + the legions on the skin, almost lost my arm & foot), was treated w/vanco... just trying to understand what happened to me on a deeper level since my doctors don't explain it at a detail level that I want.

[nunyaDbiz]

I lost my right lung due to this. I was lucky to survive this, I was in a drug induced coma for 3 mos., was hospitalized several times, and several major surgeries to deal with complications.
When they removed my lung, they removed 3 partial ribs.
The pain is still unbearable two years on.
I don't wish this on anyone!
No antibiotics were effective, not even the ones which required additional data approval to use.

[charlottewhite]

excellent, clear, and detailed. thank you. best video on mssa mrsa camrsa etc....

Note: MecA leads to Methicillin not being able to bind. It's NOT an inactivation of the drug.

Can this be acquired by dental surgery (removal of wisdom teeth)? My sister in law, currently staying in my home (but has been in hospital for about 2 days now due to blood poisoning & just diagnosed with an internal version of MRSA [?] & some sort of severe issue with her heart as well, requiring heart surgery). She had her wisdom teeth removed a few weeks ago. She'd been getting sicker & sicker, but finally taken to hospital against her will.

For a person who had MRSA pneumonia and nose would they be prone to the Coronavirus and MRSA to come back just curious

[JohnMakesFilm]

If it resides in the nose, how come it doesn’t automatically make its way to the lungs?

[williamwallace]

Do you have a hospital I can visit I’m going through this right now and the doctors seem to of skipped this part of schooling I think I have a peculiar version of this after acquiring it from a bjj gym

[clemithadsouza]

My daughter 3 year old, happens to have MRSA in Sputum. I was curious to understand how she could have this in the lungs? She has been going to nursery, could it be from there ? I am awaiting her X-ray and really hope that it's not pneumonia. Could anyone throw light on high the community acquired MRSA in a child with good health and immunity.

[danieldreher]

The lack of guidance by the CDC and the Coronavirus has not released specific guidelines for treatment and more resistant strains of Coronavirus and a more resistant strain of hospital aquired MRSA will spread along with Coronavirus and tie up many hospitals especially the Methicillin resistant strain. This will lead to more general anti-biotic failure which will injure or kill immune deficient individuals1
