FACTS:

• 80,461 - Severe MRSA infections per year

• 11,285 - Deaths from MRSA per year

 

"During the past decade, rates of MRSA infections have increased rapidly among the general population (people who have not received care in a healthcare setting).  There is some evidence that these increases are slowing, but they are not following the same downward trends as health-care associated MRSA."
