Resistant but Resilient

MRSA — methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus — is an infection that resists the antibiotics most commonly used to treat it, which means that by the time a person is diagnosed, they may already have spent time being treated for something that wasn't working. The road through it is often longer and harder than expected, and those who have made it through carry an understanding that goes well beyond the clinical definition.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts describe the MRSA experience: the initial misdiagnosis or delayed recognition, the identification of the resistant infection, the treatment — often including IV antibiotics, debridement, or prolonged wound care — and the recovery. Some writers describe hospital-acquired infections; others community-acquired ones. All are candid about the fear, the setbacks, and the patience the process demanded.

Who it's for

For those currently dealing with an MRSA infection, those recovered and still processing it, and families who want to understand what their person went through in terms more grounded than a clinical summary.
