"How MRSA Spreads in Healthcare Settings...
MRSA is mainly spread to other patients through people's hands, especially the hands of healthcare personnel. Hands may become contaminated with MRSA bacteria following contact with MRSA-infected (or colonized) patients. If appropriate hand hygiene such as washing with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand rub is not performed, the bacteria can be spread when the healthcare provider touches other patients."
