Commenting on the news that a strain of MRSA is prevalent in the community, Liberal Democrat Shadow Health Secretary, Paul Burstow MP said:

"These new findings must mean that community infections should now register on the Government's radar.

"These cases are worrying and demonstrate that we face an uphill battle in tackling these superbugs.

"The appearance of MRSA in the community illustrates just how important it is not just to tackle infections in hospitals but also to have a clear strategy for sensible use of existing antibiotics and the development of new ones."
