Staphylococcus aureus is found on many individuals skin and seems to cause no major problems. However if it gets inside the body, for instance under the skin or into the lungs, it can cause important infections such as boils or pneumonia. Individuals who carry this organism are usually totally healthy, have no problems whatever and are considered simply to be carriers of the organism.
The term MRSA or methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus is used to describe those examples of this organism that are resistant to commonly used antibiotics. Methicillin was an antibiotic used many years ago to treat patients with Staphylococcus aureus infections. It is now no longer used except as a means of identifying this particular type of antibiotic resistance.
Individuals can become carriers of MRSA in the same way that they can become a carrier of ordinary Staphylococcus aureus which is by physical contact with the organism. If the organism is on the skin then it can be passed around by physical contact. If the organism is in the nose or is associated with the lungs rather than the skin then it may be passed around by droplet spread from the mouth and nose.
IN OTHER WORDS - Yes, Staph Aureas is present in ALL countries. You've possibly got some on you as you sit here typing. However whether you get internal organs infected depends on whether at the particular hospital you are in their cleaning & sterilisation is up to par & whether they use proper aseptic techniques when you're being operated on.
It's our own fault for taking too many antibiotics & insisting on them at docs when they are really NOT needed & don't do anything to help the infection we may have.
I used to take antibiotics at least 3 times a year for septic throats UNTIL some kind person told me about Bee Propalis capsules - a NATURAL antibiotic from bee hives. Not had a really bad strep throat that hasn't gone within days since, no more tonsils swollen up so bad I can't swallow. I suffered from age 13-45 at least 3 times a year. YES - I suffered from the same Staph Aureas that has become resistant to antibiotics through mutation. Now it's Bee propalis or zapping for me. Hopefully then if I did get the nasty kind the antibiotics might work better. I also think the hospitals should look at zapping the bug, it makes sense to me.
Zapping - every organism/organ resonates at a different level. If you zap you send different frequencies through the body to eliminate the bad organisms - there has been much work done on this & many frequencies have been found & used many, many times.
Think of it like an opera singer - if they can hit a certain note a glass shatters as that is the frequency the glass resonates at.
Each microrganism has its own frequency therefore zap the body with the correct frequency & the organism explodes, implodes & cannot reproduce etc. Think of other infected cells in the body - find the right frequency & you can kill off the bad cells. There has been a great deal of research done on this & some claim astounding results but the medical establishment are so stuck on invasive treatments & won't look outside the box. Some will - but they are very few & far between. Hopefully as more docs. find this & experiment with it it'll eventually become more common to try this alongside conventional treament.
Off my soap box now - It's something I feel VERY strongly about.
If you meant have there been cases in hospitals - I haven't heard of any BUT then again don't they really hush it up here too. I personally knew of 2 people who died from it & nothing in the papers here about any outbreak at the hospital concerned.
