There is no specific answer to what the bacteria is.
Is it a Mutated one?
Unless we have information on this, our assumptions will be way off the target.
Indiscriminate use of Antibiotics has contributed to the lowering of the body’s resistance- by use in Agriculture and by us directly for any illness at the drop of a hat.
Most Indians ( majority) are healthy with out any fancy disinfectant .
Let the body develop immunity by being exposed to mild infection.
Let us not rush in with antibiotics.
Use antibiotics only when necessary.
Do not be conned by any product that promises cure/infection overnight.
Best is to wash hands on reaching home,before/after food and before going to bed in warm water with salt.
To prevent skin infection use turmeric paste.
MRSA is a sneaky bug. It once circulated mainly in hospitals and infected the elderly and ill, but over the past several years it’s been found outside the medical setting, especially in locker rooms (in schools, in the NFL, at your local gym), and has killed or sickened healthy children and adults. People can develop a life-threatening and sometimes incurable infection within hours. Survivors can be sickened for months at a time.
What exactly is MRSA?
It’s a very common strain of bacteria that has become resistant to almost all of the antibiotics used in medicine. It is resistant to most antibiotics you would be given for an infection if you went to a primary care doctor’s office. The problem with MRSA is that it’s been a slow-drip problem like climate change, which many, many inputs created, and there is no one action we can take that will walk us back.
Are there any drugs that work?
For the most serious infections only one or two drugs work and there are no new drugs coming onto the market because it is not considered lucrative [to develop antibiotics].

A new strain of the superbug MRSA has been detected on the Isle of Man, health bosses have said.
The island’s Department of Health confirmed a small number of cases of a bacterium called MRSA USA 300.
It said that, unlike other strains of MRSA, it predominately affects young, fit and healthy people.
The department added it was mainly transmitted at sports centres, gyms, swimming pools and spas, was resistant to many antibiotics and could cause serious infection.
