Furuncle Caused by Community-Acquired Methicillin- Resistant Staphylococcus aureus - Case Report
Abstract
During the last decades methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections occurring within communities - previously documented only in nosocomial environments - increased, in relation with the development of bacterial resistance to alterations coded by mecA gene. We present the case report of a patient with recurrent furunculosis, confirmed by culture and antibiogram to be a methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection community-associated. Therapy, instituted according to antibiogram, lead to complete clinic resolution.
