 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a specific strain of the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium that has developed antibiotic resistance to all penicillins, including methicillin and other narrow-spectrum β-lactamase-resistant penicillin antibiotics.
MRSA may also be known as oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA) and multiple-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
MRSA causes as many as 20% of Staphylococcus aureus infections in populations that use intravenous drugs.

 Staphylococcus aureus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
With the increased incidence of MRSA infections, vancomycin or teicoplanin (glycopeptide antibiotics) are often a treatment of choice in infections with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
Staphylococcus aureus (which is occasionally given the nickname golden staph) is a bacterium, frequently living on the skin or in the nose of a healthy person, that can cause illnesses ranging from minor skin infections (such as pimples, boils, and cellulitis) and abscesses, to life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis and septicemia.
Basic handwashing techniques are generally effective in preventing the transmission of Staphylococcus aureus.

 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus
MRSA colonization occurs on the skin surface, in the nasal passage, in the sputum or in the urine.
The length of illness caused by MRSA infection depends upon the severity of the infection, the response to antibiotic therapy, and the individual's overall health.
The chief way individuals "get" MRSA is by contact (direct or indirect) with a person who either has a wound infection, an infection of the respiratory tract, or who is colonized with the bacteria.

 BioMed Central Full text Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) in rehabilitation and chronic-care-facilities: what is the best strategy?
The prevalence of MRSA in France is among the highest in the European Union [4,5], and a recent publication by a regional surveillance network showed that this prevalence continued to increase between 1996 and 2000 [6].
The occurrence of MRSA in rehabilitation and long-term-care-facilities
These measures have proved to be effective, as shown by stabilisation of the number of MRSA infections in hospitals in which the risk was increasing or by an even greater reduction in the number of MRSA infections in these units than in other types of unit in which the risk was tending to decrease [6-8].

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Clinical Strain with Reduced Vancomycin Susceptibility.
Staphylococcus aureus (SA) is a bacterium commonly found on the skin or in the nose of healthy individuals.
Methicillin resistant strains are resistant to all beta lactam antibiotics, including penicillins and cephalosporins.

 MRSA infection - MayoClinic.com
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that is resistant to the antibiotic methicillin.
Staphylococcus (staph) bacteria are often found on the skin and in the noses of healthy children and adults.
Hospital-acquired strains of MRSA are typically resistant to many other types of antibiotics &; which can make these strains difficult to treat.

 MedFriendly.com: Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus
Specifically, methicillin is used to treat infections that are caused by a type of bacteria known as Staphylococcus aureus, often referred to as "staph" (pronounced "staff").
Signs and symptoms of a MRSA reinfection would be the same as when the infection was first discovered: fever, inflammation, feeling hot, sweaty, uncomfortable, and experiencing chills.
The longer the MRSA has been present, the older the patient is, the presence of other medical problems, and poor response to treatment are all factors that will generally make it take longer for the patient to return back to normal.

 MRSA Homepage
Staph bacteria that are resistant to the action of methicillin and related antibiotics are referred to as "methicillin-resistant staph aureus" or MRSA.
Staphylococcus aureus, or more simply "staph," are bacteria that often live in the nose or on the skin of healthy people.
MRSA bacteria are not only resistant to all penicillin-like antibiotics, but they are often resistant to many other types of antibiotics as well.

 MRSA Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus
MRSA strains are not only resistant to the antibiotic called methicillin, but also to many other types of antibiotics.
aureus is the cause of skin infections such as boils, pimples, impetigo, skin abscesses, and is a common cause of wound infections.
MRSA strains of bacteria are no more aggressive or infectious than other strains of S. aureus.

 Communicable Disease Fact Sheet
MRSA refers to a type of bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) that is resistant to many antibiotics.
Recently, however, a few strains of Staphylococcus aureus have even developed some degree of resistance to vancomycin.
The vancomycin-resistant strains may be more difficult to treat.
