MRSA is spread by contact. So, you could get MRSA by touching another person who has it on the skin. Or you could get it by touching objects that have the bacteria on them. MRSA is carried by about 2% of the population (or 2 in 100 people), although most of them aren't infected.
Were you looking for information on Is MRSA Contagious? Is Mercer contagious is a common misspelling of is MRSA contagious.. While not as highly contagious as other diseases, MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) can certainly be spread from person to person. Transmission is more likely to occur with direct skin-to-skin contact or contact with shared items or surfaces that have come into contact with someone else's infection, such as towels or used bandages.
