It is easy to find their habitats, such as hospitals, homes, parks, schools etc. Some of them are difficult to be eliminated because of drug-resistant mutations. Hence, lots of researchers devoted their efforts to eliminate them. This review illustrates the characteristics of the Staphylococcus aureus and the main threat of their drug-resistant strains, especially methicillin-resistant S. aureus. What’s more, the article also highlights the plight in the drug development.
