What is the main difference between HA-MRSA and CA-MRSA based on their names?

HA-MRSA is more severe
CA-MRSA is found only in children
HA-MRSA is acquired in hospital settings
CA-MRSA cannot be treated

The correct answer is: HA-MRSA is acquired in hospital settings

HA-MRSA stands for "hospital-associated" while CA-MRSA stands for "community-associated." This refers to the settings in which the bacteria are commonly acquired. HA-MRSA is typically acquired in health care facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes, and dialysis centers, while CA-MRSA is typically acquired in community settings such as schools, gyms, and households. While HA-MRSA strains may be more severe due to their ability to resist certain antibiotics, this is not always the case and severity can vary among individuals. Additionally, CA-MRSA can be treated with appropriate antibiotics, but it may be more difficult to treat if it has developed drug-resistance. The main difference between the two is their primary source of transmission, with HA-MRSA being mainly acquired in hospitals and CA-MRSA being mainly acquired in communities.
