He was sick in hospital with pneumonia, before he got MRSA though. In hospitals there's a higher chance to catch MRSA, especially if someone is already weakened by a severe lung infection.

Absolutely, my toddler had MRSA within a few days after he was born and its most likely due to some contamination or something to the effect.

Hospitals are a severe breeding grounds for resistant bacterial strains via sewage.
