Prevalencia de infecciones de piel y tejidos blandos producidas por Staphylococcus aureus resistente a Meticilina Comunitario en Madrid

Data on CA-MRSA prevalence in Spain are sparse. This study aims to emphasise the current importance of this emergent pathogen in our area. About one third of suppurative staphylococcal SSTI presenting in our emergency department are caused by this agent, confirming a rapid spread in our country. Some clinical features, such as the high presence of necrosis, are closely related to CA-MRSA.
