MRSA is often called a superbug because it creates various health problems that are hard to treat and cause several infections which reduce one’s quality in life. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a strain of Staphylococcus aureus that is incredibly hard to treat because of its resistance to antibiotics like Penicillin. The infection tends to pose a threat in places like hospitals where people with weak immune systems and open wounds are commonly infected.
