Isn't it one of those Super Bugs you catch when you go into hosptial?
No it specifically mentioned the bug thing as another acronym in article
I read that she broke a rib, but that was a few days ago.
The Men Behaving Badly star contracted MSSA (Methicillin-Sensitive Staphylococcus Aureus), a serious but treatable infection, while in London's Chelsea and Westminster Hospital last week, Mr Reading was admitted to Charing Cross Hospital for treatment in the early hours of Friday.
The infection initially attacked her nervous system and for a short time the actress lost any feeling below her waist.
Unlike the hospital superbug MRSA, which is resistant to the powerful antibiotic drug methicillin, MSSA can be treated with antibiotics.
Ash was discharged from the Chelsea and Westminster on Wednesday, five days after being admitted with a broken rib and collapsed lung which she said she suffered during "energetic sex" with her husband.
Ash explained that she suffered the injuries when she hit a bedside table while having sex.
In a joint statement, the couple said they were "hurt and upset" by suggestions that Ash's injuries were not accidental.
Police were called to the couple's penthouse apartment in Chelsea in the early hours of April 23.
Officers originally arrested Chapman following the incident but he was later released without charge.
Ash said afterwards: "The injuries happened when I hit a bedside table. We were making love and this happens. How embarrassing is that?"
Some quotes from The Standard for you Corrie....

MRSA is mainly a hospital acquired infection. It is usually harmless but if the person is immunocompromised it can prove fatal. Never heard of MSSA that was probably a misprint. The flesh eating bug is a different kettle of fish entirely it is necrotising fascitis. Very nasty bug
MSSA is simply an infection caused by staph bacteria which CAN be treated with Methicillin. In someone fit and healthy it doesn't pose a problem and we all carry a certain amount of staph bacteria anyway. MRSA is harder to treat and as rightly pointed out is more of a risk to those with lowered immune systems, is resistant to a number of antibiotics, and the antibiotics which can be used to treat it can cause problems in themselves, which is why hospital patients with the bug are isolated. It's worth pointing out that neither of these infections are ALWAYS hospital acquired, the bug lives naturally on us but can attack a weakened immune system.
