 Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection
Staphylococcus aureus is a species of bacterium commonly found on the skin and/or in the noses of healthy people.
MRSA stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, which is a type of Staphylococcus aureus that is resistant to the antibacterial activity of methicillin and other related antibiotics of the penicillin class.
As with ordinary strains of Staphylococcus aureus, some patients harbour MRSA on their skin or nose without harm (such patients are said to be 'colonised').

 Medmicro Chapter 12
The association of S epidermidis (and to a lesser extent of other coagulase-negative staphylococci) with nosocomial infections associated with indwelling devices means that isolation of these bacteria from blood is likely to be important and not due to chance contamination, particularly if successive blood cultures are positive.
Because S aureus is a major cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections, it is necessary to determine the relatedness of isolates collected during the investigation of an outbreak.
When the molecular basis of the interactions between the bacterial surface proteins and the host matrix protein ligands are known it might be possible to design compounds that block the interactions and thus prevent bacterial colonization.
