Abstract
It is form of bacterial infection that is resistant to numerous antibiotics including Methicillin, amoxillin, penicillin and oxacillin, thus making it challenging to treat the infection successfully Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterium that causes infections in different parts of the body.
