2022年1月8日 · Penicillin resistance (MSSA) is conferred by penicillinase production, which can be overcome by the addition of a beta-lactamase inhibitor (e.g., amoxicillin/clavulanate, ampicillin/sulbactam) or use of penicillinase-resistant penicillins (e.g., oxacillin, nafcillin).

Infections due to Staphylococcus aureus are treated with antibiotics. Doctors try to determine whether the bacteria are resistant to antibiotics and, if so, to which antibiotics. Infection that is acquired in a hospital is treated with antibiotics that are effective against MRSA.

Administer large doses of intravenous antistaphylococcal agents, such as oxacillin (150 mg/kg/d), or a first-generation cephalosporin, such as cefazolin (100 mg/kg/d). In vitro, clindamycin has...

2023年6月21日 · Staphylococcus aureus causes a variety of manifestations and diseases. The treatment of choice for S. aureus infection is penicillin. In most countries, S. aureus strains have developed a...

2024年4月15日 · Staphylococcus aureus is a leading cause of community-acquired and hospital-acquired bacteremia. Issues related to clinical manifestations of S. aureus infection are discussed separately. (See "Clinical manifestations of Staphylococcus aureus infection in adults".)

While infections caused by methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) strains are usually treated with drugs in the ß-lactam class, such as cephalosporins, oxacillin or nafcillin, MRSA infections are treated with drugs in other antimicrobial classes.

Treatment depends on the type of staph infection. Some require intravenous antibiotics. For a local Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) skin infection, draining the abscess at the doctor's office is usually the only treatment needed.
