INTRODUCTION
Microbiology laboratory is one of the best practice which is being used in prevention of
nonsocomial infections and improving overall health of community (Morency-Potvin, Schwartz
and Weinstein, 2017). This present study is going to show some treatments and testing methods
for both MRSA and influenza diseases in order to allow healthcare providers in taking better
decision and interventions for improving health of people and controlling spread of infectious
disease. Further, it will also show roles played by people where epidemiology occurs by using
such data related to disease, severity, type of disease, people who are the most prominent and
others for using better interventions and removing all diseases from spreading.
MAIN BODY
Properties that influence significance of MRSA in hospital setting
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a type of infection which is being caused
by a type of staph bacteria which becomes resistant in the body to antibiotics which are being
used to treat this infection. Those people are the most prominent to this infection who have been
in hospital setting like nurses, dialysis centre staff and others. Another type of MRSA infection
occurs in community mainly in healthy people and it spreads skin to skin contact and painful as
well. In hospital setting it may cause pneumonia, sepsis and death (Kourtis and et.al., 2019).
In the context of significance which is being affected by properties it can be said that it is
associated with the mortality, cost burden as well as length of stay. After identifying significance
this infection is being categorized under 2 types such as community associated and hospital
associated infection in order to treat them in an effective manner. Cost associated with MRSA is
high and minimum hospital stay is 10 days as it is a life threatening disease.
Properties that influence significance of influenza in hospital setting
Influenza is the main common virus which causes infections in respiratory tract, nose, throat and
lungs. Such viruses are transmitted via nose, mouth, fingers so it is important to keep distancing
and take extra care of patients. Nursing home residents are the most prominent to this virus
because of their close quarter arrangement ̧ frailty as well as movement of staff as well as
patients.
