HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
MRSA (methicillin resistant stap aureus) is a condition characterised by the presence of a bacteria that is resistant to the commonly used antibiotics.
Diabetics, because of the weakened immune system, is associated with an increased risk of this and other infections.
It can be acquired from anywhere in the community as well as hospitals and other institutions.
The work place is not commonly inspected.
I hope this helps
