A 2007 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) pointed to 100,000 cases of invasive MRSA infections in the US in 2005 (the most recent year for which data is available). These cases led to more than 18,600 deaths, compared to HIV/AIDS, which killed 17,000 people that same year.
Normally, staph bacteria are relatively harmless. Up to 30 percent of people carry staph bacteria without it causing problems. If the bacteria, however, enters your body through a cut, it may cause an infection. These are normally mild and can be easily treated.
MRSA is much more dangerous because it is bacteria that has become resistant to the broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used to treat it. MRSA is a “super bug” that is constantly adapting. It is capable of outsmarting even new antibiotics that come on the market. It can easily progress from a superficial skin infection to a life-threatening infection in your bones, joints, bloodstream, heart valves, lungs, or surgical wounds.
