    S. aureus itself is ...I know it well - moos have it and it's nasty (resistant or non-resistant) and even this is the 'baddie' version of S. aureus - it's not new and erm... remember to wash your hands. Like aureus always, wounds and cuts are its place to get to your body.

    it is going to get a whole lot worse if people freak out and increase their use of antibacterial products. These products just make speed up the becteria's resistance. Regular soap should be sufficient.

    And now for what I read, it is mostly affecting the people who are weak and usually in hospital so...

    Shouldn't get it in "normal enviroment"
