superbug

Explanation:
If you consider that "staphylocoque doré" is the man-in-the-street's name for the clinical MRSA, you might want to refer to it as "superbug" (even if it vies for this title with Enterococcus faecium).

<<They are known as MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) - dubbed the superbug.>>

<<They are known as MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) - dubbed the superbug. People who contract the MRSA superbug infections in hospitals can die in a matter of days.>>

<<MRSA (Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus) has been dubbed the ‘superbug’ because of its resistance to all normal antibiotics. The UK government has just launched (05/12/2003) a campaign to reduce the number of MRSA infections acquired by patients during their stay in hospital – an estimated 100,000 of them a year (including 5,000 deaths), at an annual cost of around 1 billion pounds>>

<<Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) - dubbed the superbug - is becoming more common in hospitals in spite of attempts to improve hygiene. There are thought to be between 80,000 and 100,000 cases of MRSA infection every year. >>
