Reports demonstrate that CA-MRSA can spread by direct person-to-person contact or directly via transient carriage on hands and body parts of athletes and children.  Contaminated environmental surfaces such as artificial turf, locker rooms, athletic equipment, tattoo equipment, and playground equipment, which come in contact with the athlete, client, employee or child become the catalyst for broad community acquired outbreaks of the potentially deadly strain of staph.  The indiscriminant pathogen has affected dozens of professional athletes and crippled franchises while literally killing children unable to fight off the infection.  Previously, MRSA had only attacked the immuno compromised.  Until now, the USA 300 and 400 strains have evolved to community acquired levels that attack the healthiest of children and professional athletes.  It is clear then that the importance of an antibiotic resistant disinfection program for your facility is paramount.
