Write a 250 word research report on a pathogenic bacterium that is not discussed in this unit (you may choose one from the gram-positive cocci table). include the history, the scientific name of the bacterium, vectors, symptoms, etc.

The one I chose is very interesting I think you will enjoy it.

Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

First diagnosed in 1884 MRSA is a Flesh Eating Disease that can easily spread through contact with an infected host. It's scientific name is Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA's symptoms include pimples, boils, Red lumps, etc. These areas often contain pus, lots and lots of pus. Some antibiotics can treat this, but it is rapidly adapting to these are growing resistant to antibiotics that previously worked. This is very lethal.

Hope this helped. Have a great night! :)
