aug 11, 1968 - MRSA
Description:
Methicillin was one of most common types of antibiotics used to treat S. aureus infections; but, in 1961, British scientists identified the first strains of S. aureus bacteria that resisted methicillin. This was the so-called birth of MRSA. The first reported human case of MRSA in the United States came in 1968.Added to timeline:
