1940s‚ when the antibiotic medications such as penicillin was discovered and introduced‚ it became a primary treatment for S. aureus infections. However‚ misusing and overusing the use of antibiotics caused the evolution of these bacteria to become resistant to drugs that were designed to combat these infections. Throughout 1950s‚ S. aureus became resistant to penicillin‚ so methicillin was introduced to counter the growing populations of penicillin-resistant S. aureus. In 1961‚ the first strains

Transmission and epidemiology of MRSA: current perspectives Maggi Banning Abstract Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive bacterium that developed resistance to the penicillin derivative tnethicillin. Subsequently‚ methicillin-resistant S. aureus {MRSA) emerged as a bacterium that became less susceptible to the actions of methicillin and thus developed the ability to colonize and cause life-threatening infections. Globally.‚ MRSA continues to cause hospital-acquired infections which are becoming

So many kinds of medicine have been found to treat patients for the purpose of preventing disease from attacking people. For instance‚ Penicillin antibiotics are historically significant because they are the first drugs that were effective against many previously serious diseases such as syphilis and infections caused by staphylococci and streptococci.

From Sommer and C.V 2006‚ it stated that the first‚ best known and most widely used antibiotic penicillin was discovered by an English bacteriologist‚ Sir Alexander Fleming and was the first clinical trials tried on human. Taylor‚ D.J‚ Green‚ D.PO and Stout (2003) noted that Sir Alexander Fleming accidently discovered the penicillin in 1982 which show its efficiency in laboratory cultures against many disease producing bacteria and this discovery lead to the beginning

Alexander Fleming Biography… Fleming was born on 6 August 1881 at Lochfield a farm near Darvel in East Ayrshire Scotland. After the war Fleming actively searched for anti-bacterial agents‚ having witnessed the death of many soldiers from septicemia resulting from infected wounds. Unfortunately antiseptics killed the patients’ immunological defences more effectively than they killed the invading bacteria. In an article he submitted for the medical journal The Lancet during World War I‚ Fleming described
