Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that causes infections in different parts of the body. It's tougher to treat than most strains of staphylococcus aureus -- or staph -- because it's resistant to some commonly used antibiotics.
Overview. MRSA colonization is when bacteria reside on an individual, but there are no signs or evidence of infection. An individual colonized with MRSA bacteria is called a MRSA carrier. These individuals are unaware they are harboring MRSA.MRSA colonization places you at risk for a MRSA infection. 1-2% of the U.S. population is colonized with MRSA bacteria. 2  However, in specific populations, 20% or more of the individuals are colonized with MRSA. 3  Populations with a high colonization rate range in age from infants 2 to the elderly in long-term care.
