Overview

Methicillin resistance is a phenomenon in which bacteria are resistant to the antibiotic methicillin and related drugs in the penicillin family. These bacteria, which include strains of the Staphylococcus and Streptococcus genera, have adapted to survive in the presence of antibiotics, reproducing and spreading antibiotic resistance. This is a major public health concern due to its potential to reduce the effectiveness of many essential antibiotic treatments, and thus, increase the likelihood of serious health complications. Containing the spread of methicillin-resistant bacteria is essential in order to limit its impact on infectious diseases and preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics.
