Several media outlets highlight research from Wayne State University's Department of Food and Nutrition Science which found antibiotic-resistant bacteria MRSA in meat and chicken in retail stores. In the study, Wayne State University researchers showed 2 percent of raw meat samples from Metro Detroit grocers tested positive for MRSA, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, a difficult-to-treat bacteria that can cause serious illness and sometimes death from undercooked meat. "This study is not trying to scare people, but make people aware that some bugs are in our food. Follow the proper food handling procedures and it will be okay," said assistant professor Yifan Zhang, the study\'s principal investigator.
