The above answer is categorically wrong.MRSA can be treated with antibiotics that are sufficiently different in structure than the methicillin group. Among these are vancomycin, daptomycin, linezolid and others.While this infection is not to be taken lightly, it is not considered by any means incurable.
Yes, however, we currently do not have an effective cure against it. Vancomycin can be used against MRSA.

∙ 16y agoMRSA is a Methicillin-resistant strain of the Staphylococcus aureus infection, and is generally curable. About 90% of all cases with community-associated (CA-MRSA) strains were cured with the use of "super-antibiotics" such as Vancomycin. However, some healthcare facilities are already seeing hospital-associated (HA-MRSA) Vancomycin-resistant strains of the infection. Such strains have the potential to grow stronger, and more resistant as a result of the attempted use of Vancomycin. Overall, most CA-MRSA cases can be cured -- or at the very least, treated -- by the use of medications such as Vancomycin, whereas HA-MRSA has a greater potential of being fatal.

However, with the proper course of therapy, MRSA can indeed be cured the majority of the time.
