Approximately 450 persons were evacuated to an Alabama gymnasium during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. After the emergency was over the gym was a mess. Concerned about the safety of teachers and students, the school President had to act immediately to make sure it was safe for repopulation of the student body. The idea about cleanup was illness prevention – to make sure no MRSA or Staph infection would begin as a result of packing so many people into a small gymnasium for a week. As a trusted and highly recommended MRSA cleaning company, Advanced Bio-Treatment was hired for a complete disinfection and cleanup of the gym and other common areas.

MRSA, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, is a type of staph infection that can be quite deadly if not cleaned up. It is mainly known to be contracted in hospitals but has made its way into places where large groups of people congregate and have little access to hygienic outlets. MRSA usually penetrates the body through cuts in the skin and will cause severe infection. The hospital-based bacteria may have similar characteristics to a rug-burn, which may dilute any perception of alarm, however, if untreated can spread to the lungs and blood causing life-threatening diseases. Disinfection and cleanup is necessary to prevent MRSA or other Staph infections.

The health hazard that is posed by an outbreak of an infectious disease such as staph and its drug resistant strain, MRSA, is quite startling. To reduce the likelihood of a Staph Infection or MRSA threat, ABT had to disinfect and clean up floors, locker rooms, bathrooms, the concession area, as well as, blankets and cots. Advanced Bio Treatment  understood the risks and had the proper training necessary in eradicating, through cleaning and disinfection, any potential MRSA or Staph infection.
