Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is an important pathogen that causes various infections. In recent years, multidrug resistance in Staphylococcus aureus strains has been on the rise. Considering the frequency of MRSA and VRSA strains in hospitals and medical centers as well as in different communities, it seems necessary and important to observe the use of appropriate drugs to reduce antibiotic resistance and reduce the economic costs of treatment. However, new treatment options using other drugs and biological compounds apart from antibiotics for the treatment of MRSA and VRSA, are slowly emerging.
