In response to message posted by mak105:

Evidently, there must be several kinds of this MSRA. My brother in-law (Age 46) had to go into the hospital for Pneumonia and was diagnosed as having:
Anurism, Emphasima, Ling Cancer and Pneumonia.
They gave anitbitics for Pnemonia. After 2 days in Hospital, had to go on Life Support. He died 2 weeks later.

His wife had an autopsy done to determine Cancer type for family history purposes.

Autoposy results showed:
No Anurism
No Emphasima
No Cancer other than a small spot which was sent off to see if it were malignant.
But, autopsy showed cause of death to be MSRA.

There was a ptient in the hospital 2 rooms down being treated for MSRA. Apparently, it travels quite easily in a hospital environment.
