Abstract

Staphylocooccal infections are common and can engage several tissues and organs of the body. Some decades ago we had antibiotics which were effective and commonly used against S. aureus infections, i e penicillin V, G and isoxazolylpenicillins, but resistance occurred with time. Also with full sensitivity, some staphylococcal infections were a challenge to treat, such as heart valvular infection, skeletal infection etc. Mostly, skin and soft tissue infections responded well to antibiotic treatment.
