MRSA (methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus)

MRSA is presently a pathogen of global health concern. . They are S. aureus strains that are resistant to oxacillin, nafcillin and methicillin. They can also be resistant to all ß-lactam agents.  It can cause a variety of problems ranging from skin infections and sepsis to pneumonia and various types of bloodstream infections. The infections occur commonly among people in hospitals and healthcare facilities such as nursing homes, diagnostic centres and dialysis centres, who have less stable immune systems. The current arsenal of antibiotics available for the treatment of MRSA includes a topical agent, a limited number of oral agents.
