I contracted drug-resistant staph (MRSA), and several other strains of bacteria from my dad, which progressed into necrotizing fasciitis (NF). I was his in-home health care provider and his bladder was catheterized. My forearm got drenched in his urine while I was trying to dress him one day. He was 86 years old at the time, and his HMO kept sending him home with hospital-acquired infections. They never once warned us of how infectious he was.

As long as you are careful and do not touch urine, puc or other secretions, you should be okay, since these bacteria generally are not airborne.

Just noticed a typo ...

"PUC" should read PUS
