Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was first described in 1961, almost immediately after methicillin was introduced into clinical practice. Widespread use of antibiotics throughout the 1970s led to the development of resistance, predominately in MRSA, to other antibiotics such as erythromycin, gentamicin and trimethoprim. ................
