A member asked:

Can you please describe merca staff infection and what does it look like ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

MRSA: This is a bacterial strain of staphylococcus aureus which has developed resistance to antistaphylococcal penicillins and cephalosporins. Its appearance clinically will depend greatly on the area of the body infected, but not much different from strains sensitive to oxacillin/methicillin.
