Clinical spectrum and 'antimicrobial resistance pattern of skin and soft tissue Infections caused by community acquired-methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus

摘要

Coirmiunity-acquired methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) has emerged as a signincanthumanpathogen during the lasttwo decades.[1] It usually causes skin and soft tissue infections in young and previously healthy individuals.[li2! Baseline MRSA carriage has been identified as a significant risk factor for infections caused by it.pl Poor living conditions, damaged skin surfaces and sharing of contaminated materials can increase the risk of community-acquired MRSA infections.[3] Our report profiles the clinical spectrum and antimicrobial resistance pattern of skin and soft tissue infections causedbv community-acquired MRSA.
