Background

Pyogenic refers to bacterial infections that make pus, that is destryed by bacteria such as Streptococcus pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus through the release of leukocidins. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics which include the penicillins (oxacillin, methicillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, etc.) and the cephalosporins. Resistance does make MRSA infection more difficult to treat with standard types of antibiotics.
