GlossaryMethicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

bacteria resistant to many antibiotics, including methicillin (MRSA)

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that has developed resistance to many antibiotics, including methicillin. This makes infections caused by MRSA more difficult to treat and can lead to more severe health issues, particularly in hospital settings where patients may have weakened immune systems.
