Why is MRSA causing problems in many hospitals?

MRSA is such a hazard because of its resistance to antibiotics. The use of antibiotics in a hospital setting is so pervasive that the bacteria which can survive in that type of environment are resistant to the most common antibiotic medications. Once a patient becomes infected with MRSA, it is very difficult to treat, usually requiring lab studies and lengthy expensive antibiotic therapy or even removal of the infected tissue. The bacteria is almost impossible to eliminate completely from a clinical environment.
