title: Diagnosis and treatment of staphylococcal diseases.
abstract: Staphylococcus is, by far, the most commonly seen organism in podiatric infections. Although common, staphylococcal infections are difficult to understand and treat. These bacteria have undergone significant changes in their pathogenicity and antibiotic susceptibility over the last few years. Methicillin-resistant strains, once relatively rare, are becoming a major therapeutic dilemma in some centers.
