Unfortunately again just like penicillin these drugs too were effective only for a short period of time and soon staph bacteria were able to resist these drugs as well and health care professionals now had to once again find a different means of curing staph infections. Finally an even more toxic and potent drug known as vancomycin was produced and was found to be effective in treating staph bacteria that were resistant to penicillin as well as the other antobiotics that were found to be ineffective. These bacteria that were resistant to penicillin and other drugs but could be treated by vancomycin came to be known as Methicillin Resistant Staphyllococcal Aureus (MRSA).
