| MRSA |
| The most widely known super bug is MRSA, which has many strains
and preys on the weak, sick and elderly. |
| |
 |
|
MRSA stands for Methicillin-Resistant
Staphylococcus Aureus. Any strain of Staphylococcus bacteria
can be resistant to one or more conventional antibiotics,
therefore prevention is better than cure. |

| |
|
| |
The number of reports of MRSA infections
rises year by year and the latest evidence suggests that
deaths due to MRSA are increasing at a similar rate. |

| |
| Clostridium Difficile |
Another known super bug is Clostridium Difficile. A spore
forming bacteria which is now recognised as the major
cause of colitis (inflammation of the colon). |
These bacteria grow in the large bowel and can produce two
toxins.
In severe cases it can cause critical illness and death in elderly
or very sick patients. |
| |
These and many other forms of bacteria are rife within our
daily lives, this revolutionary type of laundry
system can aid the elimination of these bugs in our linen. We
need to act now to help control their spread |
