Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus: Molecular Characterization, Evolution, and Epidemiology

, a major human pathogen, has a collection of virulence factors and the ability to acquire resistance to most antibiotics. This ability is further augmented by constant emergence of new clones, making a "superbug." Clinical use of methicillin has led to the appearance of methicillin-resist...
