The late bacteriologist, Professor Patricia Jevons discovered MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) in the United Kingdom in 1961.
---
MRSA has been around for years and years. I have been a nurse for more than 25 years and it was known about then. What it means is Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. Which means it is resistant to penicillin type antibiotics. There are other types of antibiotics that will work.
MRSa was discovered in the 60's and is apart of the Staphylcoccal Family. MRSA is best defined to being resistant against many antibiotics, including methicillin. This MRSA would then be treated with Vancomycin or Trimethaprimsulfate, however there have been found to be resistant strains to these.

How can someone get MRSA from a person who was treated and cured?
While the disease caused by MRSA may have been cured, it doesn't mean that the person doesn't carry any MRSA germs on his or her body. Many, many people are colonized with MRSA -- it lives on them without causing disease. "Cure" in the case of a MRSA-related rash or boil means that the skin problem is cured, but not that all MRSA has been eliminated from the person. A related question: how do you know that you're not colonized with MRSA yourself?
