MRSE:Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis

A bacterial organism that is responsible for the difficult-to-treat infections in humans and responsible of hospital-acquired-infections.

Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis

Also called “Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus epidermidis”, inhabit typically on human epidermis (skin). Like the MRSA is a multidrug resistant organism.

The MRSE can be distinguished from the MRSA by its biochemical reaction to the Coagulase (enzyme which coagulates blood plasma). The MRSE is a coagulase negative.

The same precautions need to be taken as that for the drug-resistant MRSA.
