It has become resistant to many antibiotics.
MRSA is Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus. It is a type of staph bacteria) resistant to the antibiotic Methecillin. For more information on MRSA please visit Answers.com.
MRSA is a bacterium, (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus), not a virus. It does grow, but not like a virus.
MRSA - Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. It is a bacterial infection, not a fungal infection.
MRSA is metycilin resistent staphylococcus aureus, meaning that the bacteria SA is resistant to the antibiotic metycilin(I think I wrote the name correct) MRSA is Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus . It is a bacterial infection caused by a strain of Staph aureus which are resistant to most antibiotics and thus difficult to eradicate. It emerged in 1961 after Methicillin was used to treat this infection. It is now one of the most common Hospital acquired infections.
MRSA is not a disease, it stands for "Methicilin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus", so it's a strain of S.aureus.
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.
Its actually MRSA (Methycillin Resistant Staphlococcus aureus) also know as ORSA (Oxacillin Resistant Staphlococcus aureus). MRSA is the most common nosocomial infection (infection acquired in the hospital). MRSA enters through cuts and wounds om the skin.
