To determine:
The way in which Julie and then Jason likely infected.
Case summary:
Julie was surprised and feels very proud that her boyfriend bought her a tattoo as an 18th birthday gift. After, a week Julie and Jason affected by an evolving disease, which is referred to as community associated, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) diseases. Julie’s leg and arm layered with swollen, red, and painful lesions, (containing pus) soon she developed fever. Jason misunderstood that he suffered by spider bite (Wednesday). On the next day, he unable to walk, and he noticed that a red colour line going up from his ankle to groin. Soon, his health condition became worse and he hospitalized for 10 days.
He severely affected by bacteremia (blood) and osteomyelitis (his bones affected). Around many years, the health centre workers fought to control the healthcare-associated MRSA (HA-MRSA). Usually, the HA-MRSA infects hospitalized patients, but recent year’s common people other than hospitalized patients are also affected such as risky tattooists, school students, and athletes by sharing clothes, fomites, razors, and towels.
Julie is suggested oral antimicrobials such as doxycycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and clindamycin) and she has given vancomycin (intravenous).
To determine:
The reason that why CA-MRSA considered an “emerging disease”.

The reason that why not the map shows more countries in Africa and South America with case of CA-MRSA.

Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas.
