PY - 2018 DA - 2018/02/07 TI - Transmission dynamics for Methicilin-resistant Staphalococous areus with injection drug user JO - BMC Infectious Diseases SP - 69 VL - 18 IS - 1 AB - Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a bacterial pathogen resistance to antibiotics including methicillin. The resistance first emerged in 1960 in a healthcare setting only after two years of using methicillin as a viable treatment for methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA leads to infections in different parts of the body including the skin, bloodstream, lungs, or the urinary tract.
