What is MRSA? 

Im a surgical nurse and we had a few patients with MRSA and a lot of people tried to explain it to me I even looked it up in the internet but until I saw that video I never really got what the hell this is. Thank you so much you are really good in explaining and I finally get what MRSA is :) Greetings from Germany

I'm a future skin care therapist, and we are learning about bacteria & infection at the moment. This really helped me get a better understanding of MRSA,thank you.

Husband’s back surgery pre-op swab was positive mrsa colonization. We are generally healthy and do not ever need antibiotics so I was in a panic until watching this video. Thanks for explaining it In terms that I understand

I had invasive MRSA when I was 4 years old. It was pure hell. I had to go to the ER for emergency surgery with intravenous antibiotics for half a month afterward.

Dr. Hope! Just found your channel and I must say I'm fascinated! My grandad actually died of MRSA in hospital years ago now. I never really knew what it was but now I do. Thanks for making these videos and taking the time out to make them even though we all know the kind of stresses you and your colleagues in the NHS are under.

I’m a carrier of MRSA absolutely the worst thing to have 🤦🏽‍♂️ any bump I get on my body gets infected, filled with pust and swell. I literally had it on my elbow and couldn’t move my whole left arm 🤦🏽‍♂️

I'm a diabetic, and about 3.5 years ago, I had an abscess rupture into the fatty tissue of my thigh, which caused cellulitis. The doctor in the ED drained it, but he never actually took any of the fluids for testing. I wound up having to stay an extra 2 nights because my pc wanted to make sure I got several extra doses of IV antibiotics. I was annoyed with that ED doctor.

Very interesting. I am an RN in Australia and it seems we deal with MRSA a little differently here than in the UK. We do not swab every patient that is admitted. You are only swabbed if you have had an overnight stay in another hospital within the last 12 months (ED visits do not count). If the swabs return positive for MRSA we commence additional contact precautions where gloves and a disposable gown must be worn when interacting with the patient or their environment in an attempt to prevent spreading MRSA to other patients, but usually by the time the MRSA result comes through the patient has been in the hospital with no additional precautions in place for a few days. To me this method seems a bit like shutting the gate after the horse has already bolted.

I work at a tattoo shop & we have to learn about these sorts of bacterial infections for healing afterwards. Thanks for your clear explanation!

These are awesome! Please keep doing more, thank you!

Can CRISPR be used to solve all disease and infections?

I got MRSA most likely from people not sanitizing the equipment at Planet Fitness. That’s what my doctor told me. I just started going back to the gym.

I just spend from 9/6/23 thru 9/14/23 with MRSA, bacteria in my blood. It was the most horrible thing that has happen to me. The first 5 I just wanted to die. While in the hospital I was given thru IV 5 different kinds of antibiotics. At the end one did work. Now since 9/27/23 I have been suffering with really bad bladder pain, nauseous, vomiting and really bad headache. I have since 9/27/23 to now been to Urgent Care and two trips to the ER. While at the Urgent Care that I did have a Bladder infection. I was put on antibiotics but only to receive a call from Urgent Care a few days after my visit and told me that after reviewing my urine test that I needed to seek additional medical help because it was not a bladder infection but rather than something else. I have been to the ER twice but both times I have been told that everything shows negative in terms like my white and red cells but I did have a kidney stone on my right side but is not moving? I am so sick right now. My bladder is bothering me so much. I am very nauseous and vomiting that I can not control. I do not know what to do. Do I go back to the hospital and demand to be admitted until they found what is really wrong with me😢. I can not go on one Moore day. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Never fell asleep SUPER TERRIFIC BREAKDOWN!!!! THANK YOU

I was once told by my educators that we humans were overdue, which is likely supposed to be in the psychology department as they are abusing the mind with medications while not knowing what they are doing in the first place. Bi-polar 'disorder' had shown the greatest abilities to embrace human +++abilities to not only feel but to express, entertain, be witty, artsy and level yet we treat this trait which is more likely to be an upgrade in human evolution then dull it into depression by altering the entire brain chemistry, which was done to my mother as well... sorry my aunt-sister had MRSA and no, I'm not joking, but the downside with living far away is getting the news from my family like an article in a newsletter without the ability to visit, support, or do anything about it.

Wow,well explained, thanks.

How are you? I am a citizen of Mongolia. I got MRSA disease 2 years ago. Doctors in our country have not been able to treat it yet, so please give me 🙏🙏🙏 good advice. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading. Well informative specially for public masses that have no background in medicine

I caught MRSA when I had an inguinal hernia operation at age 18. It was the most painful experience of my life, felt like torture. I wasn't stabbed before the surgery to test if I had it on my skin, but it was about 13 years ago now and not sure if they did that back then in Ipswich Hospital.

I am a hospital worker , I had ruptured pimple inside my ear 8 days back, and I just found out today , I have MRSA.

😋psychologist when you're doing a depression topic, a urologist when you're explaining vasectomy or hydrocele, a plastic Ok dad surgeon when explaining tummy tuck etc. More mēà111 You also have to find your emblem. Your insignia, your very own signature that makes me want to tune to your channel out of the other few hundred thousand doctor channels... In any case I am subscribing. It'll be interesting seeing you bloom from now to once you're "The next big thing" ( Dr. Oz anyone?)

I contracted MRSA November 2020 started like a pimple then looked like spider bite 3 days later a fever couldn't walk was hospitalized almost 2 weeks then did antibiotics at home it spread to my heart so no I'm dealing with the aftermath

Thank you so much well done

i might have it but the doctors need to double check the test one warning i can give to people is to avoid picking the nose thats where most of the mrsa is

if someone has recovered from it, are they still infectious to someone with mild scalp psoriasis?

What are the two stacked books in the background 🤔

ive been watching ur recent videos and i didn't even know you made educational stuff 😂

Thank you am in hospital I was bitten by a horsefly my wound went nasty ways so they took me to have an op I been really poorly with it they g had to cut away the infected areas am now so scared they put me on antibiotics am in hospital and want to go home but I need nursing as they have to dress my wounds 😊

Ok so 3 weeks of doxycycline that isn't that technical.That info is correct as I had the infection.

👍👍👍

Me=☠️

I know dummy but you kinda didnt explain what it looks like, symptoms etc. dummy.

May the bacteria be with you

Is MRSA what people here in the states pronounce “Mersa?” Or is that different? Thanks

I have had multiple instances of staph infection 10-12 years ago after a lake was drained near my residence. After developing severe cellulitis, and having it drained, I was prescribed a sulfur based antibiotic which cleared it up very quickly. My immune system didn't do a very good job, hah!

Great video, our local hospital prescribed 'Sulfamethoxzole' january 2019 and results are looking very good, things are clearing up nicely, altho slowly....and painfully

I had an MRSA scare a few years back; major infection in panus, several surgeries to debride large abcesses. at one point a blood test came back positive for MRSA, but several re-tests showed none, so they ended up decided I didnt have it

I had MRSA once it was scary but funny As Well . I got it in my leg and when I got to the E.R I was unable to explain what exactly was going on in my upper leg so I just took my pants off in the middle of the E.R lmao well they got me my own room pretty fast . I was crying so bad because you know Dr google is a scary person I thought I was going to loose my leg . wonderful memory.😳

A week ago I thought it was hives on my back. Four days ago I showed the big round red bumps to a medical person who said he was sure it was MRSA. The 5 sores on my back developed separately over two or three days, and now I'm getting sores on my left arm. I called my primary doctor's office to get an appointment, and though I told them that it's most likely MRSA and I need to be tested, they didn't seem concerned and made an appointment two weeks away. These welt looking sores hurt to have clothing touch them. I'm really worried.

Had it before when I was a kid put garlic actually stung like a mf and used antibiotics ofc but the garlic did wonders is that weird?? Lol

I had it. Still have some around a hip replacement. MRSA kept me in the hospital for 74 day's.

Is that true that I can not have Wisdom teeth removal while having MRSA in my nose?

Apparently it has a morality rate of 32 percent. Which is quite high .

Using this to help supplement my Immunology course. Thanks!

My son is a carrier and has had MRSA infection 3 times in about 5 years. He just had an orange sized piece of one of his lungs cut out because of it. The hospital knew he had MRSA but they refused to keep him 1 more day to biopsy the fluid in his lung, he was sent home but was back in about 4 days, they then sent him to another hospital where they treated him correctly.

What is MRSA? A trash-head that made me suffer as a 3 year old

excellent video, thank you very much for making it easy to understand.

I've had MRSA and it's gross, painful, and it gave me trauma

Well paced - very informative and clear and i will remember it because for 60 years I have pronounced both aureus and urinary with a slightly different emphasis. Sounds like not a lot but when you hear it spoken with that different emphasis it's as if someone pushed you (gently)

Hi dr hope, I’m Jenna I’m only 16 and have constant MRSA. It’s terrible it goes away and comes back a few weeks later. What is your recommendation?

I worked, in a general hospital, & got the noro virus , we had a days induction, and the importance of not wearing your uniform into work, did anybody listen - No you still see them jumping on & of buses, with their uniform, with the Corona virus. This could now be fatal!

Hello, Doctor I am from Kenya and I have MRSA since 2012. Please, assist. Thank you.

A doctor told me that a past MRSA diagnosis follows the patient around pretty much forever and makes getting medical care much more of a pain in the ass. Is this true?

I'm recovering from Cellulitis to the skin iam taking antibiotics been on antibiotics for a week.

Your magical hands have relieved me of my pain and I can't find a way of thanking you enough, thank you *MR OBALAR* for curing my horrible herpes….

Is Marisa . Like cellulitis?

I got it when i was 25, didnt fight it off until i was 28. 16 surgeries , its a hell of a thing

Thank you for the video!!!

Well done 👍

Impressive

I had MRSA sepsis from caregiving. Not a thing to mess with

Liquid, Colloidal Silver, 500 PPM helped me. I also use colloidal silver skin Gel

Can you get it from eczema on your hands?

Can you do one for VRE?

if you cover MRSA - you could have addressed VRSA considering its quite the neighbor to MRSA.

I have mrsa and have been treated for abscess they gave me antibiotics that did not work and did surgery and they would reappear finally i discovered that as soon as i would start getting red or abscess if i used hydrogen peroxide just swab the area 2 to 3 times a day it healed so i investigated and found food grade hydrogen peroxide 35% and would add some to the 3% solution to make it stronger 1 time and it would go away no more antibiotics no more surgery the 3% works fine if you catch it early apply after a hot shower when your pores are open if they did this for people just wipe them down would also prevent bed sores big pharma doesn't want you to know this no money in it. Peroxide is a miracle!

Some one having MRSA in throat !!! How to treat,any herbal remedies!!?

Currently dealing with this after having a coldsore and picking it up off of a phone at work. the facial abscesses are the worst thing ever 🤮

i had mrsa when i was real young in my kidneys. the docs said i had cancer at first but thank god they was wrong.

Healing from it now, the Dr said it could take 2 months to heal 😢😢

I understand... I though I had shingles

Is that how you say urinary?! I've been pronouncing it like URINE-ARY all this time! Great video - really informative

You speak very fast for me, a norwegian. Got something, but hoho

Can staph infection be confused with cold sore

thank you

Dr you are so kind thankyou

I had this kind of infection before . Do you think that this kind of bacteria can stay in my body for longer times?Greetings from denmark ! Hope I can hear any response!

Had it on my face above my eyebrow, not good

Dr. Hope, God Bless you for making videos that the lay person can understand. I love your accent and could listen to you all day! Lol! Too cute! I like your background set too! The skeleton with the stethoscope around it's neck makes me laugh! Nice touch Dr. Hope! I added a post that will help your viewers to improve their blood by boosting their immune system & their bloods over all health. I hope you give it a try as well. God bless you & keep up the good work! Robyn M

I ate vegan for 3 months and I noticed the infection went away. As soon as I started eating bad again it came back.

Hi all, I made a typo, You'll be surprised to see your white cell count will be higher, not low, after 1 year of taking the supplements. Robyn M

Next? ESBL?

thanks doc, i'm really freaking slow i think. this was a well scripted, put together summary.
