What is Methicillin-Resistant Staph Infection?

An MRSA infection is a bacterial infection caused by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. The bacteria can affect the skin, blood, bones, or lungs. A person can either be infected or colonized with MRSA. When a person is infected, the bacteria produce symptoms. A person colonized also has the bacteria, but it may not cause any symptoms. A MRSA infection is serious because the bacteria are resistant to many common antibiotics that are used to treat infections.
