Why is methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) methicillin-resistant? Answers are either: -The bacteria are able to prevent entry of the drug into the cell. -It produces a modified penicillin binding protein (PBP) target molecule that is not effectively inhibited by the drug. -It has an enzyme that destroys methicillin. -It actively pumps the antibiotic out of the cell.
