Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (/ÉmÉrÉseÉª/ or /ËmÉrsÉ/) is a bacterium responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It is also called oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA).RSA is any strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed, through the process of natural selection, resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, which include the penicillins (methicillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, etc.) and the cephalosporins.
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.
