Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole or Clindamycin for Community-Associated MRSA (CA-MRSA) Skin Infections

Abstract

Our findings reinforce the belief that incision and drainage and antibiotics are critical for the management of CA-MRSA skin infections. Patients who receive TMP-SMX or clindamycin for their CA-MRSA skin infections experience similar rates of treatment failure.
