Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)

Recent reports on the prevalence of MRSA, and recent unfortunate student deaths associated with MRSA have prompted much telephone activity and many questions regarding available data in Michigan. 
Additionally questions regarding available educational resources have been received.  Individual case reports of MRSA are not reportable in Michigan; therefore prevalence rates for either Healthcare Associated –MRSA (HA-MRSA) or Community Associated –MRSA CA-MRSA) is unknown. 
Outbreaks, defined as “three or more culture positive cases in a facility or in a community that are epidemiologically linked where transmission/spread is plausible” are however, reportable to the local health jurisdiction.
