Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
incidence rates in the UK are the worst in Europe (White, 2002). The bacterial itself is one that is carried by many in the general population, with roughly a third
of all individuals as carriers with no ill effects (Cooper, 1999). MRSA made its first appearance in the UK during the 1960s (Butler, 2002). However, it was not until 1990
that serous strains appeared when there was an outbreak at Northamptonshires Kettering General Hospital (Butler, 2002). Infection by MRSA may take a variety of forms, ironically due to the variety
of forms it can take and its common origin and common skin bacteria, the real mortality rate is unknown as death certificates do not record this as the cause
of the death, but the manifestation that it creates (Cooper, 1999). This lack of recording is also aggregated in the way that there is not a specific coding at the
Office for National statistics for this cause of death unlike many other causes of death (Cooper, 1999). This does not mean that MRSA is cannot be a fatal bacteria
(Country Doctor). The morbidity and mortality rates are higher in the more vulnerable groups as it is highly resistant to the commonly used antibiotics (Country Doctor). The rates are likely
to be higher in long term care facilities and high dependency wards (Country Doctor). Overall, the resistance levels in the UK appear to be higher than those in other counties.
A recent study was conducted in Europe; the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (EARSS) (Country Doctor). In the UK the measurement indicates that there was a resistance rate to
the treatment of the condition with antibiotics of 46.1% of all the invasive staphylococcus aureus isolates reported (Country Doctor). To place this into context the next highest resistance countries where
