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.
How contagious is MRSA? It is an infection that spreads in a many ways â but usually via skin to skin contact and via the hands. MRSA is a drug resistant type of the staphylococcus aureus (SA) bacteria. SA is on the skin of 30%+ of people and may be carried by as many as 80% of people at some point. MRSA is rare â 1.5% are thought to carry it, but in some cities it can be 10% â and it seems likely to grow.
