ABSTRACT

Staphylococcus aureus is a particularly virulent microorganism that is resistant to antibiotics. It can cause a wide variety of diseases in man. The main impact of this microorganism is due to methicillin resistant strains of S. aureus (MRSA), commonly found in hospitals, and they are the cause of nosocomial infections worldwide. Moreover, in recent years, strains of MRSA are starting to appear in the community, causing problems in many countries. The prevalence of these strains in the community has increased substantially. If adequate epidemiological and clinical measures are not put in place a serious health problem could arise in the near future. This revision seeks to examine current knowledge on the virulence and resistance to antibiotics of S. aureus, together with an analysis of recent changes in its epidemiology and the most important characteristics of community-acquired methicillin resistant S. aureus strains.
