4. What is Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and MRSA?

Staphylococcus aureus (SA)  is a major nosocomial pathogen that causes a range of diseases including endocarditis, osteomyelitis, toxic shock syndrome, food poisoning, carbuncles and boils.1

In the early 1950s, acquisition and spread of beta-lactamase-producing plasmids thwarted the effectiveness of penicillin for treating SA infections. In 1959, methicillin, a semi-synthetic penicillin, was introduced and, soon after, methicillin-resistant SA (MRSA) strains were identified.1
