children too many antibiotics. It is a danger of the pharmacological age that certain bacteria and pathogens have developed resistance to the medicines which modern science has invented to
stop them in their tracks. Staphylococcus aureus is an important as well as common pathogen which is found in healthy and unhealthy individuals. It is a common airway
colonizer that is distinguished according to whether it is methicillin-susceptible or methicillin-resistant (Cunha, 2001). In exploring the literature available, it seems that the morbidity and mortality rate between methicillin-susceptible
or methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus are indistinct. The student will note that a research paper opens with a statement of general interest and that the first paragraph ends
with the thesis statement or a summation of what was found in the process of research. "S. aureus is an important and common pathogen in humans. It
is found in the nose or on the skin of many healthy, asymptomatic persons (i.e., carriers) and can cause infections with clinical manifestations ranging from pustules to sepsis and death.
Most transmission occurs through the contaminated hands of a person infected with or carrying S. aureus" (MMWR, 2001, Internet source). The incidence of S. aureus is high in
hospital and longterm health care settings. Of those who have acquired the infection, most are methicillin resistant ((MMWR, 2001). A study completed by Dr. K. V. Menon and
associates (2001) found that "MRSA infection in surgical patients is not associated with increased mortality. Surgical patients with MRSA infection are a more debilitated and sicker group of patients
as shown by their worse physiology scores. In addition, MRSA infection was seen more often in those patients who underwent a greater traumatic insult than the general surgical population
