Resistance to antibiotics happens when the bacteria produce an enzyme that breaks down antibiotics. S.aureus bacteria have a unique protein that stops the antibiotic from attaching to the bacteria and killing it. This Is MRSA, a strain of S.aureus that is resistant to a large number of antibiotics making it difficult to treat because of the limited number of antibiotics available.
