  • MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is a type of bacterial infection that is resistant to many antibiotics, including methicillin. Treating MRSA requires careful selection of antimicrobial agents and effective hygiene practices. The Purely Fresh Hand Cleanser & Sanitizer contains several ingredients known for their antimicrobial properties, which can be beneficial in combating MRSA. Here’s a detailed explanation, supported by relevant studies and references:

    2. Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia)
       - Effectiveness Against MRSA: Tea Tree Oil is known for its potent antimicrobial and antiseptic properties. Research has demonstrated that Tea Tree Oil can inhibit the growth of MRSA strains and may be effective as an adjunctive treatment in reducing MRSA colonization.
