Abstract

MRSI is the staphylococcal infection having resistance to the methicillin which is semisynthetic penicillinase-resistant agents against penicillinase. These infections are very difficult to treat because they have resistance to almost every antibiotics except for vancomycin. We experienced MRSE(methicilline-resistant staphylococcal epidermis) infected 56 years old man who developed 2 months after arthroplasty for TMJ ankylosis and MRSA(methicilline-resistant staphylococcal aureus) infected 59 years old man who was performed arthroplasty for traumatic TMJ disc displacement.
