Some staph bacteria are resistant to antibiotics. MRSA is a type of staph that is resistant to antibiotics called beta-lactams. Beta-lactam antibiotics include methicillin and other more common antibiotics such as oxacillin, penicillin and amoxicillin. While 25% to 30% of the population is colonized with staph, approximately 1% is colonized with MRSA.
Treatment and antibiotic resistance: MRSA infections are difficult to treat because meticillin is the best therapeutic option for S. aureus infection. To compound matters, MRSA in hospitals is usually resistant to a wide range of antibiotics in addition to meticillin and the other Ã-lactam antibiotics. Vancomycin remains the mainstay of treatment for MRSA. Thus, the emergence of vancomycin-resistant S. Aureus(VRSA) is a serious concern.
