quickly multiplied to form populations of drug- resistant microorganisms. While methicillin- resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a well- known example of a drug- resistant strain, many other organisms are showing alarming rates of drug resistance due to the selective pressures exerted by the increased use of antibiotics.
