MRSA CAN ENTER THE BODY THROUGH CUTS, SCRAPES, NOSE, EYES, OR MOUTH. IT IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO TREAT. MRSA CAN CAUSE MINOR BOIL-LIKE PUSTULES, LARGE SORES, DEADLY BLOODSTREAM INFECTIONS, AND EVEN PNEUMONIA.
C. DIFF (CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE) IS A BACTERIUM THAT CAUSES DIARRHEA AND COLITIS. BECAUSE IT GROWS IN THE SMALL INTESTINE, C. DIFF CAN BE PRESENT IN FECAL MATERIAL AND BODY FLUIDS. THREE PERCENT OF ADULTS TEST POSITIVE FOR THIS PATHOGEN.
WHEN ATTACKED BY DISINFECTANTS C. DIFF FORMS INTO A “SPORE” STATE, MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO KILL. C. DIFF IN A SPORE STATE MAY PERSIST ON HARD SURFACES FOR FIVE MONTHS.
