MRSA and “Usual” Staph Aureus Pictures
It’s impossible to say from staph skin infection pictures, if the cause of infection is MRSA (Methicilin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) or an “usual” staph - MSSA (Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus). Even a staph carrier without any symptoms can have MRSA. Folliculitis, which is usually a mild infection, may also be caused by MRSA or MSSA (folliculitis pictures).
