MRSA infections are resistant to an antibiotic called methicillin and also to many other types of antibiotics. Resistance means that the bacteria are not killed by the antibiotic.
MRSA strains of bacteria are no more aggressive or infectious than other strains of S. aureus. However, infections are much more difficult to treat because many antibiotics do not work. Infections with MRSA can sometimes become more severe than they may otherwise have been if the cause of the MRSA infection is not diagnosed early and antibiotics that are not effective are given at first.
In some cases, it can lead to serious health problems such as blood poisoning and infections of the lungs, bones or the heart valve. A small number of people die from the effects of MRSA
