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