Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by a type of staph bacteria that's become resistant to many of the antibiotics so I was wondering, What would happen if the bacteria were left untreated due to its high resistance and immunity to antibiotics?
Unless your body is able to beat the infection, it could result in pneumonia or sepsis and result in septic shock.
In the absence of a noticeable improvement in the symptoms and signs of the disease or a slight improvement observed with the continued administration of the antibiotic, a culture and sensitivity tests should be carried out.
In the community, MRSA most often causes skin infections. In some cases, it causes pneumonia and other infections. If left untreated, MRSA infections can become severe and cause sepsis.

It is actually a very subjective question because every individuals has different immune state. However, most cases where the bacteria left untreated, it could lead to a severe infection and even death.
