MRSA

There are pathogens that can no longer be defeated. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus — MRSA — is one of them. A bacterium that has become immune to the most powerful antibiotics. Medicine knows it as a hospital pathogen, an infection risk, a sign that the biochemical weapon has grown blunt. And yes, the microbiological reality is serious. But there is another level.

The psychosomatic perspective does not only ask which pathogen is affecting your body. It asks: what makes you susceptible? What in your inner life has created a breeding ground on which something can spread that eludes all control? What in you has stopped fighting back — not against the bacterium, but against a particular way of living?

MRSA is not simply an infection — it is a mirror for an inner condition in which resilience and the joy of living have waned together.
