Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Can be broadly divided into health-care associated (HA) and community associated (CA)

HA-MRSA is associated with many hospital associated infections ranging from minor/severe skin and soft tissue infections to bloodstream infections and severe pneumonia

It also causes many device associated infection and prosthetic infections

CA-MRSA is associated with skin and soft tissue infections (e.g. abscesses) and necrotizing pneumonias

However, it can also cause many severe infections as with HA-MRSA
