Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a specific strain of the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium or STPAH infection.
Although outbreaks of MRSA usually have been associated with health-care institutions, MRSA is emerging as a cause of skin infections in sports the community

Some of the althetes in the NBA who have had Staph infection include Grant Hill, Paul Pierce, and Drew Gooden.
HOW IS MRSA CONTRACTED?
MRSA is usually contrated by a break in the skin. It comes off the skin onto items such as towels, gym equipment, and
body contacts in sports.
