Patients can sometimes come down with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) while being treated in a hospital for a different condition. MRSA is a type of bacteria that is resistant to many antibiotics and can be acquired in healthcare settings, making it a common hospital-acquired infection. The other conditions listed (human papillomavirus infection, kidney failure, and heart failure) are either not typically acquired in hospitals or are not infections associated with hospital treatment.
