چکیده
The treatment of MRSA skin and soft tissue infections in adults will be reviewed here. The treatment of invasive MRSA infections, the mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, epidemiology of MRSA infection, and general issues related to skin and soft tissue infections are discussed separately. (See "Treatment of invasive methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections in adults" and "Microbiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus" and "Epidemiology of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection in adults" and "Cellulitis and erysipelas" and "Skin abscesses, furuncles, and carbuncles" and "Impetigo" and "Folliculitis".)
