GIANTmicrobes - MRSA Superbug

Staphylococcus aureus is a very common bacterium often found growing harmlessly on the skin. Once responsive to penicillin, strains that were resistant to the antibiotic soon emerged. When methicillin was developed to combat these strains, MRSA (Multiple-resistant staphylococcus aureus) emerged. Some strains of this “superbug” are now resistant to virtually all known treatments.
