In a new study researchers have found antibiotics may make the Superbug MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) stronger. In lab test the mice were seen getting sticker with anti-MRSA injections.

Antibiotics are commonly used to treat MSRA, but lately those are found to cause staph infections (bacterium Staphylococcus aureus), which is a type of soft tissue bacterial infection.

MRSA causes over 80,000 infections each year with 11,000 deaths. As it is resistant to many antibiotics, doctors try to treat the infection with a combination of two or more antibiotics.

Details of the new study are published in latest issue of Cell Host & Microbe journal. It writes the antibiotics used in treating infection may activate the pathogen-defense system of the body and worsen the MRSA skin infections.

Researchers have explained about the rumors that say MRSA was artificially created. They have refuted the false belief saying bacteria is a natural occurrence and has developed through natural selection.

They points out MRSA outbreak is higher in nursing home, hospitals and prison as well. It is widely associated with those who have open wounds or have underwent invasive surgical procedures. It is of high risk to those who have weak immune system.

The first symptom of infections is a type of rash on skin and it shows between a period of 24 to 72 hours. The other symptoms are high fever, boils, impetigo, cellulitis, endocarditis and necrotizing pneumonia.
