When MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) bacteria are treated with antibiotics, particularly methicillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics, they typically do not respond due to their resistance mechanisms. These bacteria have evolved to produce enzymes that break down the antibiotics or alter their target sites, rendering the drugs ineffective. In some cases, alternative antibiotics may be used, but treatment can be challenging due to the bacteria's resistance profile. Consequently, infections caused by MRSA may require more aggressive or combination therapies to effectively eliminate the bacteria.
What else can I help you with?
How can methicillin resistant Staph aureus MRSA be treated?
Usually it can be treated with antibiotics.
What is MRS bacteria?
It is usually called MRSA: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. Methycillin is a version of penicillin that was developed to attack penicillin-resistant bacteria. MRSA can sometimes be treated with other common antibiotics like tetracyclines, e.g. doxycycline.
What is an mrsa?
mrsa means multiple resistant staphylococus aureus. Is a bacteria which is resistant to several antibiotics
How can MRSA be treated and prevented?
it can be treated with high doses of antibiotics. it can be prevented by not touching the infected person
Can you catch MRSA if you are on antibiotics?
Yes you can. MRSA is a multi drug resistant Staff aureus bacteria. If you are on an antibiotic that the MRSA is resistant to, then it's as if you not taking any antibiotic. Keep in mind that the reason we have MRSA is because of the widespread use of antibiotics. We often use them unnecessarily for viral infections. These constant exposures allow the bacteria, not just this one, to adapt and survive.
MRSA mutation process?
Bacteria have the ability to mutate and become resistant to elements that are attempting to destroy them, such as antibiotics. As a result of abuse and overuse of antibiotics, there are not antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA and VRE. Even though antibiotics have become less effective in destroying these mutated superbugs, Manuka Honey is not being used to kill MRSA and effectively treat Staph infections.
Which bit of MRSA mutates?

Can you identify a possible risk of overuse of antibiotics?
bacteria and fungi will become immune to them, causing infections such as MRSA.
Is MRSA something you will have for the rest of your life?
MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) infection can be very serious because the bacterium has the ability to adapt to most antibiotics. But, MRSA infection is treatable. After diagnosis process have finished, doctor will know what types of antibiotics are best to fight against MRSA. Answer on your question is No.
What is mercers disease?
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are a type of staphylococcus or "staph" bacteria that are resistant to many http://wiki.answers.com/health-center/antibiotics-definition.aspx. Staph bacteria, like other kinds of bacteria, normally live on your skin and in your nose, usually without causing problems. MRSA is different from other types of staph because it cannot be treated with certain antibiotics such as methicillin.Staph bacteria only become a problem when they cause infection. For some people, especially those who are weak or ill, these infections can become serious.MRSA infections are more difficult to treat than ordinary staph infections. This is because the strains of staph that are known as MRSA do not respond well to many types of antibiotics, which are the types of medicines normally used to kill bacteria. When methicillin and other common antibiotic medicines do not kill the bacteria that is causing an infection, it becomes harder to get rid of the infection.MRSA bacteria are more likely to develop when antibiotics are used too often or are not used correctly. Given enough time, bacteria can outsmart antibiotics so that these medicines no longer work well. This is why MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria are sometimes called "super bugs."
How does bacteria become MRSA?
Bacteria become Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) through the acquisition of specific genes that confer resistance to methicillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics. This typically occurs via horizontal gene transfer, where genetic material is exchanged between bacteria, often through plasmids or transposons. The most common gene responsible for this resistance is mecA, which alters the penicillin-binding proteins in the bacteria, preventing antibiotics from effectively targeting them. Overuse and misuse of antibiotics in healthcare and agriculture further promote the development and spread of MRSA.
Why is MRSA rsistant to antibiotics?
Overtime, MRSA has evolved and developed the ability to destroy certain antibiotics antibacterial activity before they kill the MRSA. However, there are still antibiotics that can still be effective against MRSA, these antibiotics include:ClindamycinDaptomycinDoxycyclineLinezolid (Zyvox)MinocyclineTetracyclineTrimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Bactrim DS, Septra, Septra DS)Vancomycin (Vancocin, Vancoled)
