abstract: In the last years, there has been a great increase of bacterial resistance to the most frequently used antibiotics. Several factors should be considered when deciding to treat a cutaneous infection with a systemic treatment: characteristics of the patient, infection severity, prevalence and local resistance patterns of pathogens, and properties of available drugs.
