   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methicillin-resistant...

   MRSA is responsible for several difficult-to-treat infections in humans. It caused more than 100,000 deaths worldwide attributable to antimicrobial resistance in 2019. MRSA is any strain of S. aureus that has developed (through natural selection) or acquired (through horizontal gene transfer) a multiple drug resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics.

3. Staphylococcus aureus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staphylococcus_aureus

   Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA, often pronounced / ˈ m ɜːr s ə / or / ɛ m ɑːr ɛ s eɪ /), is one of a number of greatly feared strains of S. aureus which have become resistant to most β-lactam antibiotics. For this reason, vancomycin, a glycopeptide antibiotic, is commonly used to combat MRSA. Vancomycin inhibits the ...

   A drug of last resort (DoLR), also known as a heroic dose, [1] is a pharmaceutical drug which is tried after all other drug options have failed to produce an adequate response in the patient. Drug resistance , such as antimicrobial resistance or antineoplastic resistance , may make the first-line drug ineffective, especially in case of ...

5. Antimicrobial resistance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_resistance

   All types of microbes can develop drug resistance. Thus, there are antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral and antiparasitic resistance. [4] [8] Antibiotic resistance is a subset of antimicrobial resistance. This more specific resistance is linked to bacteria and thus broken down into two further subsets, microbiological and clinical.
