MRSA has emerged as a serious infectious disease, with the first case of methicillin-resistant S. aureus being detected in 1961.

Why are medical professionals so concerned when antibiotics exist that can kill MRSA?
MRSA can transfer methicillin-resistance to other bacteria.
Patients are not treated with correct antibiotics rapidly enough to prevent serious illness.
MRSA could acquire additional antibiotic resistance genes from other bacteria to become a "super bug."
All of the above.

Answer:

All of the options are true for a MRSA infection.

Explanation:

<em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> is one of the most frequent pathogens causing hospital and community infections. <em>S. aureus</em> can become very easy methicillin resistant (called MRSA isolates) and others beta-lactam antibiotics (are the ones widely used to treat infections) and usually can be resistant to other class of antibiotics, become a  very strong bacteria making treatment options very limited. MRSA isolates can rapidly transfer the methicillin resistance to other species of S<em>taphylococcus</em> and some other bacteria. Also <em>S. aureus</em> can acquire other antibiotic resistant genes making a deadly bacterium for its strong resistance. It is in search how the bacterium acquire this antibiotics resistance ( and other virulence factors genes) and the mechanism involve to develop new drugs to treat  MRSA infections  with the hope that can´t develop resistance to this new drugs.

Less than 0.1% of the enegery in a food chain generally makes it from the sun to quaternary consumers
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Generally, 10% of total available energy is transferred to the next trophic level in any food chain. Rest about 90 % of the stored chemical energy is lost as heat, a by-product of respiration. Let’s assume a 10% transfer rate, starting from producer (100%), primary consumer (10% ), secondary consumer 1%) and tertiary consumer have (0.1%). Therefore, quaternary consumers will have less than 0.1% of energy. Thus, statement is true.
