Is this M.R.S.A.?

"No more, say infectious disease experts, who increasingly are seeing these "super bugs" -- strains of Staphylococcus aureus unfazed by the entire penicillin family and other first-line drugs."(2nd paragraph)

I believe so.

I had a MRSA infection in my knee and agreed to be part of a clinical trial for the drug linezolid (it's VERY expensive - but Pharmacopia paid for it). It cleared up within 3 days.

P.S. Clinical trials are great - the Drs and Nurses wait on you hand and foot.
