		<description><![CDATA[More cases of a drug-resistant strain of staph infection called MRSA are turning up in California, state health officials say. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA for short, is a so-called “Super Bug” infection that cannot be effectively treated with commonly used antibiotics, such as methicillin. In some cases, MRSA infections can be fatal and result in the condition casually known as the flesh-eating virus, according to a new report in the Ventura County Star. Previously confined mostly to older people &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The number of cases of the drug-resistant bacterial infection MRSA has nearly doubled in the last 10 years as the potentially fatal infections spread out of hospitals and other healthcare settings into schools, fitness centers, and other community settings, U.S. researchers say. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus – or MRSA for short – is often spread by negligent and improper cleaning of medical equipment, gymnasium equipment, and other surfaces in areas where many people gather together. Children, who are more likely not &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is bad news today in the battle against MRSA, the deadly drug-resistant strain of staph infection that has spread from hospitals into other public areas. Medical researchers say they have identified a new strain of the infection that is five times more deadly than previously known strains. The new strain, called USA600, may also be at least partially immune to vancomycin, an antibiotic drug that is widely used to treat MRSA infections, researchers said, according to a HealthDay news &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a dangerous drug-resistant form of staph infection that is difficult to control with most antibiotics, has been found in ocean waters and sand off the coast of Washington, researchers said. The fear is that swimming in the water or sitting and digging in sand contaminated with MRSA could lead to nasty infections, pneumonia, and other potentially serious health problems, said researchers from the University of Washington in Seattle. The beach is just the latest community location &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The next time you go to the hospital or the doctor’s office for a checkup, think about this: A new study finds that hospital professionals only washed their hands half the time between patients, increasing the risk of spreading potentially deadly infections that account for nearly 100,000 American deaths and billions of dollars in medical costs each year. The spread of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a potentially deadly form of bacterial staph infection, and other drug-resistant “Superbugs” which cannot be &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A special kind of honey collected from bees may be the key to killing a potentially deadly form of drug-resistant bacterial infection, new research finds. Researchers at the University of Wales Institute in Cardiff found that manuka honey effectively destroyed some bacterial proteins in Meticillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a strain of staph infection that is highly resistant to most traditional antibiotics. Manuka honey has long had healing and anti-bacterial properties and is used to treat wounds, burns, stomach ulcers, &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Israeli researchers looking into the spread of drug-resistant infections in hospital intensive-care units are pointing a finger of blame at portable X-ray equipment that is not properly sanitized. Officials from Hadassah Hebrew University Hospital in Jerusalem say observation of technicians performing 173 chest X-rays found that more often than not, the machines may be spreading infections among patients. In only two of the procedures, just one percent of the total, adequate infection control measures were used. Testing of the equipment &#8230;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a form of bacterial staph infection, a potentially deadly and drug-resistant “Superbug” that cannot be controlled with common antibiotics. About 90,000 serious infections and 18,000 deaths in the United States are blamed on MRSA every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The infections also are spreading faster and in more locations than it had previously. For many years, MRSA was primarily confined to hospitals and other healthcare settings, where improper hand-washing &#8230;]]></description>
