What are the symptoms of infection?
Many people carry staph bacteria on their skin without any symptoms. Symptoms of a MRSA or other staph infection depend on where the infection is located. Infections of the skin are most common, and cause symptoms such as redness, pain, warmth, pus and a wound that does not heal. More serious staph infections, like pneumonia, may cause symptoms of shortness of breath, fever, and chills.
