Studies have estimated that, in the United States, antibiotic resistance adds $20 billion in excess direct health care costs, with additional costs to society for lost productivity as high as $35 billion a year. The use of antibiotics is the single most important factor leading to antibiotic resistance.
When people are infected in a health care facility, the bacteria are usually resistant to several types of antibiotics, including all antibiotics that are related to penicillin (called beta-lactam antibiotics). Strains of bacteria that are resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics are called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MRSA strains are common if infection is acquired in a health care facility, and more and more infections acquired in the community, including mild abscesses and skin infections, are caused by MRSA strains.
