AUREUS Created by Kim Rasmussen RN VSU Student Health Center 11810 WHAT IS STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS It is commonly called staph and it is one of the bacteria frequently responsible for skin infections. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are increasingly being reported as multidrug resistant with high resistance to macrolides (erythromycin, clarithromycin) and lincosamides (clind -.

Concordia University. What is Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA)?. MRSA infection is caused by a strain of staphylococcus that is resistant to antibiotics. There are two categories of MRSA, there is HA-MRSA that is found in the hospital setting and is the cause of all hospital induced infections and there is CA-MRSA strain that is found outside the hospital setting in the community (Otto, 2012)..
