Grant Hill knows what it’s like to be out of action, that’s why he has dedicated his time and talent to this Public Service Announcement, raising awareness about MRSA.
MRSA stands for meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is a common skin bacterium that is resistant to a range of antibiotics.
‘Meticillin-resistant’ means the bacteria are unaffected by meticillin, a type of antibiotic that used to be able to kill them.
An MRSA infection means the bacteria have got into the body through a break in the skin (see below) and multiplied, causing symptoms.
The symptoms of MRSA infection vary depending on which part of the body is infected, but there is often redness and swelling at the site of infection.
