This book
goes in depth over the history of MRSA for the past 50 years. It explains how
it has spread from being generally a disease found in hospitals and nursing
homes to our homes through the community. It further explains how MRSA has
infected the food chain due to the overuse of antibiotics in our dairy and meat
products. This book is written for the general public and I found it to be
