My name is Heidi Seubert and I made this webpage for my Organismal Biology class at UW-La Crosse. I am currently a freshmen majoring in Biology and hope to one day go to medical school.
I chose this organism because I was exposed to this bacteria while working in a nursing home as a CNA one summer. I was also surprised to see that there were signs up around campus about how to protect yourself against MRSA.
I hope that you have learned a lot from my webpage and that it has given you a lot of good advice about how to protect yourself against MRSA.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about anything that is on this page, you can email me at seubert.heid@students.uwlax.edu.
Also, if you have enjoyed my page, you can go to multipleorganisms.net and view other webpage's made by students.
