MRSA bacteria,coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA,yellow) is a Gram-positive,round (coccus) bacterium,shown here on the microscopic fibres of a wound dressing. It is resistant to many commonly prescribed antibiotics. S. aureus is carried by around 30 per cent of the population without causing any symptoms.
