Hi, my son who is 12 years old has recurrent MRSA skin infections, and some other boys in his football team as well. The bug is resistant to some antibiotics, and they are treated with clindamycin. How to prevent more infections occurring?

Earlier, outbreaks of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections were known only in health-care institutions, but now MRSA is becoming a cause of skin infections in the community. In sports, were competitors easily come in close contact to each other, it’s not a wonder to have reoccurring MRSA infections. If all participants would be MRSA free, the situation would be greatly improved. Sport clubs, coaches and others involved in children training should take preventive measures like increase hygiene level, disinfect surfaces prone to bacteria settlement and take proper care of skin injuries, to prevent skin infections.
