Regarding MRSA infection, Robin, you stated that "Once you have acquired this
you will always be a carrier." How is the carrier status identified? If I
recall from microbiology eons ago, a carrier means one is not infectious but
puts others and themsleves at risk should an infection be brewing; is this
correct? And what implications does this have, if any, re breastfeeding or contact
with others? I've worked with a mom and baby who both had MRSA and mom
recently said she tested "clean," no lingering bacteria post treatment.
