Antibiotic-resistant staph infection is an infection caused by a type of bacteria that cannot be killed by many commonly used antibiotics. This makes it hard to treat and stop the infection. The bacteria causing these infections are a type of Staphylococcus bacteria. They are often simply called staph.A commonly used name for resistant staph bacteria is methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA (often pronounced as mer-suh).MRSA infections happen most often in people who have a weakened immune system and have received healthcare in a hospital or other healthcare facility.t can also spread the infection. Often antibiotics are not needed after the infection is drained. If an antibiotic is needed, the infection will be treated with the type of antibiotic that is most likely to kill the bacteria.
