Staphylococcus aureus

1,000,000 times actual size!

Facts: Staphylococcus aureus is a very common bacteria often found growing harmlessly on the skin. Originally responsive to penicillin, strains soon emerged that were immune to the antibiotic. When a derivative of penicillin called methicillin was developed to combat these strains, methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) emerged. The antibiotic resistance of MRSA (Now multiple-resistant staphylococcus aureus) has continued to improve: some strains of this "superbug" are now resistant to virtually all known treatments.

This plush measures about 6" from top to bottom and is made of a light brown plush. It comes with a black cape that proclaims it to be a superbug.
