MRSA is an infection generally associated with hospitals. The abbreviation stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Staphylococcus aureus is the most common of the staphylococcus infections and this particular strain is very serious because it has developed a resistance to all our usual forms of treatment,a nd to our most effective one, Methicillin... a form of penicillin.
