Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus can cause a wide range of infections ranging from minor skin abscesses to more serious invasive diseases. The development and spread of bacterial strains that are resistant to antibacterial drugs has emerged as a global problem. The appearance of antibiotic resistant bacteria over the past decades has been regarded as an inevitable genetic response to the strong selective pressure imposed by antimicrobial chemotherapy, which plays a crucial role in the evolution of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
