Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are a type of staphylococcus or "staph" bacteria that are resistant to many http://wiki.answers.com/health-center/antibiotics-definition.aspx. Staph bacteria, like other kinds of bacteria, normally live on your skin and in your nose, usually without causing problems. MRSA is different from other types of staph because it cannot be treated with certain antibiotics such as methicillin.Staph bacteria only become a problem when they cause infection. For some people, especially those who are weak or ill, these infections can become serious.MRSA infections are more difficult to treat than ordinary staph infections. This is because the strains of staph that are known as MRSA do not respond well to many types of antibiotics, which are the types of medicines normally used to kill bacteria. When methicillin and other common antibiotic medicines do not kill the bacteria that is causing an infection, it becomes harder to get rid of the infection.MRSA bacteria are more likely to develop when antibiotics are used too often or are not used correctly. Given enough time, bacteria can outsmart antibiotics so that these medicines no longer work well. This is why MRSA and other antibiotic-resistant bacteria are sometimes called "super bugs."

Staph infections can spread from person to person among those who live close together in group situations (such as in college dorms).

Warm, humid environments can contribute to staph infections, so excessive sweating can increase someone's chances of developing an infection.
