It is more prevalent because it is resistant to many antibiotics. It is a type of bacteria causing diseases like sores or boils on skins. Sometime it may seriously infect the wounds. These bacteria do not respond to many common antibiotics used to kill bacteria which caused the prevalent nature now.
