MRSA infection through sexual intercourse

Hello! I have just got out of the hospital as I had an appendix attack. I had it removed. Anyway, a couple of days before I had an unprotected sex and at the hospital they found out that I suffer from MRSA infection. Is it possible that I have got this infection from this unprotected intercourse? Thank you very much

Didn’t the stuff in the hospital explain to you? MRSA is usually spread in the hospital by physical contact and not by sexual intercourse. So, the infection is so easy to be spread by hand to hand contact. The bacteria that cause MRSA infection are resistant to most antibiotics, but there is one called vancomycin that is often used. However, it may happen that some bacteria are resistant to this antibiotic as well.
