MRSA Infections Still on the Rise

In a study published in Emerging Infectious Diseases, investigators found that the number of infections with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) increased more than 90% between 1999 and 2006. The study also found that over time more MRSA infections are community acquired (CA-MRSA) compared to hospital acquired (HA-MRSA).
