I've been hearing about MRSA since 2000s. What's new? I mean, what has changed now since 2000 that this is now more important?

- Fomite 13y agoIt's more prevalent, and has gone from a weird bug mostly in hospitals to something you can pick up in the community. Beyond that, it's no longer just MRSA. There's all manner of resistance mechanisms, for a very, very wide set of diseases, including some dirt common ones. "Resistant" isn't an on/off switch. How resistant? Where are the resistant bugs? How many of them are there compared to non-resistant competitors, etc.
