Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria typically found living in the mouth, nose, or skin without causing any harm. Some strains of Staph have become antibiotic resistant, and are now classified as ‘superbugs’, with MRSA infections very difficult to treat with regular antibiotic methods.
Methicillin is a synthetic form of penicillin used on staphylococci that produce penicillinase, which is an enzyme that breaks down penicillin.
Vaginal or vulvar infections of MRSA are possible if given the opportunity.
