MRSA and VRE are distinguished from most other bacteria because they are. particularly resistant to antibiotics. This can also be true of some strains of C. diff. MRSA and VRE strains are not more virulent(more likely to cause. disease/infection) than methicillin or vancomycin responsive strains of the bacteria.
