What are the effects of MRSA?
MRSA may invade the blood and cause potentially serious complications such as bacteremia, septic shock, and serious metastatic infections (endocarditis, pneumonia, osteomyelitis, and arthritis). In more vulnerable people, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria have been known to cause boils, abscesses, impetigo, septic wounds, heart-valve problems and toxic shock syndrome. In extreme cases, it can result in death.
