Abstract
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) emerged in 1961, just after the introduction of methicillin as a countermeasure against penicillinase-producing “multidrug-resistant” S. aureus, a threat at that time. Since then, MRSA has posed a continuous threat to medical care as a major multidrug-resistant pathogen in hospitals. In 1997–1999, severe invasive infection with MRSA occurred in the community, and this attracted attention as...
