Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become one of the leading etiologies of nosocomial pneumonia as a result of an increase in staphylococcal infections caused by methicillin-resistant strains paired with extended ventilatory support of critically, and often, chronically ill patients.

Staphylococcus aureus is a species of bacterium that can cause a broad variety of infections, ranging from minor skin infections to severe pneumonia and sepsis. The genetic adaptation of S. aureus has led to a multidrug-resistant pathogen, meticillin-resistant S.

Methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus, or MSSA, is a skin infection that is not resistant to certain antibiotics. MSSA normally presents as pimples, boils, abscesses or infected cuts, but also may cause pneumonia and other serious skin infections.
Doctors diagnose MRSA by checking a tissue sample or nasal secretions for signs of drug-resistant bacteria. The sample is sent to a lab where it's placed in a dish of nutrients that encourage bacterial growth.
