methicillin-resistant-staphylococcus-aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by staphylococcus aureus

  • MRSA is resistant to the complete beta-lactam class of antibiotics. Methicillin is a member of this class of antibiotics, along with others like the more popularly prescribed penicillin, amoxicillin, and oxacillin.
  • S.aureus also causes pneumonia, mastitis, skin infections, bone infections, and inflammation of the heart's inner lining.
  • S.aureus becomes resistant to antibiotics like methicillin by expressing foreign proteins named PBP (penicillin-binding proteins) resistant to its action.
  • Hence methicillin-resistant-staphylococcus aureus becomes resistant to a wide range of antibiotics makes the treatment choices very limited.
  • The alternatives for the treatment of MRSA are dependent upon lowering the methicillin resistance.

Facilitated diffusion

<span>The word 'diffusion' means free movement across distance, with or without the presence of a barrier. However, there is a phenomenon known as facilitated diffusion which occurs at the cellular level. The cell does not allow free radicals and other harmful substances to enter and harm the cell organs. This is possible due to the structure of the cell membrane. The structure is such that, it allows only certain things to pass in and out of the cell. One such activity that allows selective movement in and out of the cell is the process of facilitated diffusion.</span>
