Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria mainly causing infections of the skin, soft tissue and bone, as well as bloodstream. As of 2021, almost 16 percent of S. aureus in EU and EEA countries was resistant to methicillin. This statistic displays the percentage of invasive Staphylococcus aureus isolates resistant to methicillin (MRSA) in EU/EEA countries between 2017 and 2021.

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacteria mainly causing infections of the skin, soft tissue and bone, as well as bloodstream. It is also one of the most frequent causes of antibiotic-resistant healthcare-associated infections worldwide.
All EU Member States and two EEA countries (Island and Norway) reported data from invasive isolates, except for UK in 2020 and 2021. Roughly 76 percent of the participating countries had a high national representativeness, in terms of covered geographic areas, included acute care hospitals, and microorganisms causing infections.
