Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus - MRSA (Child) [English] Permalink Public
MRSA is a type of bacteria (germ). MRSA stands for "methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus." Staphylococcus aureus is often shortened to Staph. aureus. Staph. aureus is a germ that is often found on the skin. It does not usually make people ill. When Staph. aureus does cause an infection, it usually affects the skin. It can cause boils, infected cuts, and other skin infections. MRSA is a special type of Staph. aureus. It is resistant to many antibiotics, including methicillin. This means that methicillin and some other antibiotics do not get rid of MRSA if you take them. Audio available. (English)
