TLDR
The morbidity and cost for cure associated with skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) have recently become more complicated because of the increasing prevalence of multidrug-resistant pathogens associated with this healthcare problem.About:

Antimicrobial drug use and resistance in Europe.
Nienke van de Sande-Bruinsma,Hajo Grundmann,Didier Verloo,E Tiemersma,J. Monen,Herman Goossens,Matus Ferech +6 more
TL;DR: Routine surveillance data indicate a relation between use and resistance and support interventions designed to reduce antimicrobial consumption at a national level in Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complicated skin and soft tissue infection
TL;DR: A range of new agents for the treatment of methicillin-resistant S. aureus infections have compared favourably with the glycopeptides and some have distinct pharmacokinetic advantages.

Treatment Strategies for Infected Wounds.
Irina Negut,Valentina Grumezescu,Valentina Grumezescu,Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu,Alexandru Mihai Grumezescu +4 more
TL;DR: This paper presents an overview of the most prominent antibiotic-embedded wound dressings, as well as the limitations of their use, and highlights recent advances in using nanoparticles as platforms to increase the effect of pharmaceutical formulations aimed at wound healing.

Cellulitis: A Review
Adam B. Raff,Daniela Kroshinsky +1 more
TL;DR: Treating predisposing factors can minimize risk of recurrence of cellulitis, and treatment of uncomplicated cellulitis should be directed against Streptococcus and methicillin-sensitive S. aureus.

Bacterial Pathogens Isolated from Patients with Bloodstream Infection: Frequencies of Occurrence and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Patterns from the SENTRY Antimicrobial Surveillance Program (United States and Canada, 1997)
TL;DR: Overall, U.S. isolates were considerably more resistant than those from Canada, and distinct differences were noted in the antimicrobial susceptibilities of several pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus: an evolutionary, epidemiologic, and therapeutic odyssey.
TL;DR: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus has undergone rapid evolutionary changes and epidemiologic expansion and has led to an important change in the choice of antibiotics in the management of community-acquired infections and has also led to the development of novel antimicrobials.
