Skin and soft tissue infections caused by community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) are a source of significant illness and accounted for over 2 million visits to emergency room departments in the United States in 2004. While most infections are minor and do not require hospitalization, some can be life-threatening--particularly for people living with HIV.
