Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (commonly known as MRSA) is a subset of bacterial (staph) infection of the skin. “Staph” is the common name for the bacteria named, Staphylococcus aureus.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a cause of staph infection that is difficult to treat because of resistance to some antibiotics. Staph infections—including those caused by MRSA—can spread in hospitals, other healthcare facilities, and in the community where you live, work, and go to school.

Bacteremia is the presence of bacteria in the blood, hence a microbiological finding. Sepsis is a clinical diagnosis needing further specification regarding focus of infection and etiologic pathogen, whereupon clinicians, epidemiologists and microbiologists apply different definitions and terminology.
Clinically, the physician may not be differentiating the diagnoses as two different things, even though coding does. Now, bacteremia is the principal diagnosis, it won't change your DRG, though it could certainly affect quality concerns and medical necessity.
Staphylococci are Gram-positive cocci that grow in clumps, are catalase test positive and coagulase test positive (Staph. aureus) or negative (coagulase-negative staphylococci). Staph. aureus is the most important pathogen, causing a variety of pyogenic infections and toxin-mediated illnesses in normal hosts.
BacilliStaphylococcus aureus / ClassBacilli is a taxonomic class of bacteria that includes two orders, Bacillales and Lactobacillales, which contain several well-known pathogens such as Bacillus anthracis. Bacilli are almost exclusively gram-positive bacteria. The name Bacillus, capitalized and italicized, refers to a specific genus of bacteria. Wikipedia
S. aureus is spread by touching infected blood or body fluids, most often by contaminated hands.
