Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA). Many people mistakenly call it "mersa" but the name is the acronym MRSA.
Methicillin is a type of antibiotic---a super strong antibiotic.
Resistant means the bacteria (Staph) has developed ways to fight the antibiotic, or "resist" it.
Staphylococcus Aureus is the scientific and medical name for the kind of bacteria, often simply referred to as Staph or Staph A.
