Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has presented challenges to laboratories and clinicians since it first appeared in Australia in the mid-1960s. However, in spite of its long presence and familiarity, a clear understanding of its epidemiology has only been possible with the recent advent of sequence-based typing methods (see the article by O'Brien and Giffard, page 131).
