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)..
