Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria resistant to many antibiotics, including methicillin. MRSA infections can be difficult to treat and are often acquired in healthcare settings, though community-associated MRSA also exists. Preventive measures and appropriate antibiotic use are essential in controlling MRSA spread.
