Featured Book - MRSA and Stapholococcal Infections

The Library will be featuring an item from each month's new book book list. This month's featured item is the book MRSA and Staphylococcal Infections by Hernan R. Chang.

"Despite the large amount of information available through books, Internet sites, and libraries, more and more people with staphylococcal and MRSA infections present to their primary care physicians offices, urgent care centers, and emergency rooms. The disease seems to continue to spread. Most people with history of MRSA colonization get a reassuring answer when they ask about their contagiousness. The plain truth is that they are potentially contagious. In order to understand the magnitude of this epidemic and to realize how the appearance of MRSA has and will influence our lives and our culture, consider the classic handshake. The handshake will never again me the same after MRSA. The information presented in this book is intended to provide general understanding of MRSA and Staphylococcal infections." - Amazon product description.
