HOW does evolution relate to MRSA?

Evolution is the theoretical process by which all species or forms of life will "evolve" or develop over time.
MRSA has been an evolving bacterium that has spread throughout the United States in the past 5 to 6 years (the image to the left gives you an idea of how the number of cases involving MRSA is an "increasing" subject matter).
MRSA was discovered a little over 50 years ago, in the year 1961. From that time until now it is said that it has been continuously growing. But most unfortunately it has taken that time to "evolve resistance". Which basically means that the more time MRSA has to develop, the harder it will be to cure it.
According to the book; "DISEASES & DISORDERS- MRSA" by Barbara Sheen, she too said MRSA had first been discovered in the 1960's. It was more commonly found among those outside of healthcare settings during the 1990's.
She also introduces a chart calculating the percentage of people diagnosed with MRSA in the countries Germany, Greece, and Spain since 2005. For Germany= 27.2%, for Greece= 48.6%, and for Spain= 23.5% (this shows you how this disease has spread across the country, not just the United States). Based on these numbers and the numbers in chart to the upper left, MRSA has been proved to be an "growing problem". So overall, evolution is very closely related to MRSA due to the "evolving" or increasing number of cases it has had since the time it was first discovered.
