A superbug is defined as a bacteria which has developed resistance to several antibiotics. So their is some variation even within a species. So with Staphylococcus aureus, there are strains which are not very resistant at all, strains which are resistant to just some of the many antibiotics we can use, and then there is MRSA, which is resistant to even our strongest drugs. Unfortunately, the more we use antibiotics to treat bacterial infections, or even wrongly treat viral infection with them, the rate of resistant strain infections increases.

I hope that makes sense?
