Novel developments in the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections
Expert Opinion on Pharmacotherapy, 2019Introduction: Acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) represents a major burden for healthcare systems. The increased prevalence of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, combined with the limited availability of microbiologic data when treating ABSSSI, has led to a need for more convenient, less toxic anti-MRSA agents.
