One type of staphylococcal bacteria is called MRSA; this stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. This name means that this bacterium is not killed by many of the usual antibiotics that are used to treat infections caused by staphylococcal bacteria. This “resistance” to antibiotics has made treating these bacteria more difficult.
