Concept explainers
To determine:
The way in which Julie and then Jason likely infected.
Case summary:
Julie was surprised and feels very proud that her boyfriend bought her a tattoo as an 18th birthday gift. After, a week Julie and Jason affected by an evolving disease, which is referred to as community associated, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) diseases. Julie’s leg and arm layered with swollen, red, and painful lesions, (containing pus) soon she developed fever. Jason misunderstood that he suffered by spider bite (Wednesday). On the next day, he unable to walk, and he noticed that a red colour line going up from his ankle to groin. Soon, his health condition became worse and he hospitalized for 10 days.
He severely affected by bacteremia (blood) and osteomyelitis (his bones affected). Around many years, the health centre workers fought to control the healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA). Usually, the HA-MRSA infects hospitalized patients, but recent year’s common people other than hospitalized patients are also affected such as risky tattooists, school students, and athletes by sharing clothes, fomites, razors, and towels.
Julie is suggested oral antimicrobials such as doxycycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and clindamycin) and she has given vancomycin (intravenous).
To determine:
The reason that why CA-MRSA considered an “emerging disease”.

Further, the life or infectious cycle of this microbe/ organism should be described thoroughly. This discussion should include the means by which this disease is spread among humans. Diagnosis: How is the disease diagnosed? Briefly describe the test(s) involved and how they work. Symptoms: The symptoms of this disease should be described thoroughly. If there is a significant asymptomatic period, that should be described as well. Epidemiology: Who is most likely to contract this disease?
