AB  - Infection  with  methicillin-resistant  Staphylococcus  aureus(MRSA)  (clustered  gram-positive  cocci)  causes  a  variety  of  localized  and  invasive  purulent  infections  and  toxin-mediated  syndromes  such  as  toxic  shock  syndrome  and  staphylococcal  scalded  skin  syndrome  (SSSS).  MRSA  infections  used  to  be  limited  to  healthcare  facilities  and  were  strictly  nosocomial;  however,  a  significant  increase  in  community-acquired  MRSA  (CA-MRSA)  has  been  seen  in  the  past  10  to  15  years.  The  separation  between  healthcare-related  MRSA  and  CA-MRSA  is  becoming  less  distinct,  as  CA-MRSA  is  becoming  more  virulent  and  causing  significantly  more  healthcare-associated  infections.
