Is MRSA different that staph aureus?

Yes, MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus) is a specific strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed resistance to methicillin and other antibiotics. While all MRSA is Staphylococcus aureus, not all Staphylococcus aureus is MRSA. This resistance makes MRSA infections more challenging to treat compared to non-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus.

Is MRSA selective or differential?

MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) is not classified as selective or differential; rather, it refers to a specific strain of Staphylococcus aureus resistant to methicillin and other antibiotics. However, MRSA can be identified using selective media that inhibit the growth of non-MRSA strains while allowing MRSA to grow, such as mannitol salt agar with specific antibiotics. In this context, it can be considered selective for isolating MRSA from samples.
