US : MRSA bacteria found in Wash. fire station

An article from Fire Rescue 1 :

" EVERETT, Wash. : A University of Washington study released today found responders may be at a higher risk for carrying methicillian-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) than the average person.

Researchers conducted the first-ever environmental health study on MRSA in Northwest fire stations and on personnel to determine the extent of the contamination.

After running tests, MRSA was found all over the fire station, reported King 5 News."
