Abstract
Originally, methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) occurred primarily in the hospital setting and was designated hospital- associated MRSA (HA-MRSA). In recent years, isolates of Staphylococcus aureus from the community (CA-MRSA), found to be methicillin resistant, are not as resistant tooth~ antibiotics as HA-MRSA. However, community strains are noted for their invasiveness causing soft tissue infections with propensity for invasion to deeper sites.
