MRSA (pronounced meer sa) is an acronym for methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus - also known as the "Superbug" and can cause deadly infections in patients in healthcare facilities and in the community.

THE CATALYST FOR CHANGE

MRSA Survivors Network was founded in early 2003. MSN was the first consumer organization in the U.S. to raise the alarm concerning the MRSA epidemic and other multi-drug resistant healthcare-acquired infections.

MSN has been the key catalyst for change on an international and national front with its groundbreaking crusade and mission to stop MRSA deaths and infections. MSN partners with healthcare professionals and consumer
organizations.

SCREENING SAVES LIVES

Again, another study this spring was released proving that screening (surveillance) for MRSA works in drastically reducing MRSA infections - this one is from Evanston Northwestern Healthcare  and Dr. Lance Peterson in Illinois. 

 With nearly 200 studies showing that screening of at-risk patients does control MRSA and entire northern European countries and western Australia using screening and isolation, why is the CDC ( The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ) dragging it's feet while so much needless pain and suffering along with deaths are occurring?

You would think that the CDC would make MRSA screening a priority in their lax and lengthy guidelines and revise them.

The CDC wants all Americans to be screened for HIV, but  not MRSA, which more people die and are infected from than HIV.  How many more people need to tragically die and be infected?

Every single healthcare facility in the U.S. should be screening all at-risk patients for MRSA and if they started today, it would still take ten years to get the MRSA epidemic under control - that is how out-of-control this disease is.
