MRSA Facts


Posted by pth

Can anyone answer these questions or point me to a link?

 

Can MRStaph.a survive - normal refrigeration?      Freezing?

 

                               Boiling @ sea level for (???) minutes?

 

                               Human fevers up to/above 104 dd F?  (for how long?)

 

                               Hydrogen peroxide/H2O2?

 

Does washing with "normal" hand, body, laundry or dish soap (NOT anti-bact. or anti-microb. soaps) kill MRStaph.a or only remove it?

The longest period of survival outside the human body that I have found to date (3/09) is 3 months on dacron materials in health care setting.  Does anyone know of any other "survival" time(s)?

 

Thanks.
