Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a microbe that adapted to changes in the environment to compete for survival. Staphylococcus aureus, a common organism, developed resistance to medication. Patients infected with the resistant strain may remain infected or colonized for long periods. The main mode of transmission is via the hands of the health care worker. It is important to understand the appropriate method of protection and control when providing nursing care for someone infected with MRSA. MRSA is a common cause of nosocomial infection.
