Methicillin resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> emerged long before the introduction of methicillin in to clinical practice

2017-03-30

Abstract excerpt

The spread of drug-resistant bacterial pathogens pose a major threat to global health. It is widely recognised that the widespread use of antibiotics has generated selective pressures that have driven the emergence of resistant strains. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was first observed in 1960, less than one year after the introduction of this second generation β-lactam antibiotic into clinica...
