MRSA, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is a type of bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics. It can be contracted through direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person or by touching surfaces contaminated with the bacteria, such as gym equipment or towels. Risk factors include having open wounds, weakened immune systems, or being in crowded or unsanitary environments. Good hygiene practices, such as frequent handwashing and avoiding sharing personal items, can help reduce the risk of infection.
