Evolving antimicrobial chemotherapy for Staphylococcus aureus infections: Our backs to the wall.

R S Daum1, J B Seal.   

Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus is responsible for many nosocomial and community-acquired infections. Its evolving resistance to traditional antimicrobial chemotherapy and emerging prevalence outside of the healthcare environment are serious concerns. This review of the changing epidemiology of methicillin-resistant S. aureus, the emergence of vancomycin (glycopeptide)-resistant isolates, and the mechanisms of resistance to beta-lactams and glycopeptides provides an update for clinicians regarding effective strategies for treatment.
