Methicillin resistance is the ability of certain bacteria to resist the effects of the antibiotic methicillin and related antibiotics. Methicillin resistance is most commonly seen in the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus. This type of resistance has been seen to increase in recent years, and has become a major cause of bacterial infections, particularly in hospitals and other healthcare settings. These infections can be difficult to treat and, in some cases, lethal. Researchers are actively investigating ways to reduce the spread of methicillin resistance, both through the development of new antibiotics and through the development of new ways to prevent and control these infections.
