Abstract
Pediatric Skin and Soft Tissue Infection Antibiogram and Antibiotics Prescription Pattern in the Pediatric Emergency and In-Patient Settings
Highlights
Antimicrobial resistance has posed significant challenge to effective treatment of pediatric skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) in the past two decades with significant demographic variations
Records for 2872 children were reviewed – 52% were females, mean age was 10 years, and 75% self-identified as Black or Hispanic
Seventy-one percent (71%, n = 574) of 811 cultures sent were positive, with Staphylococcus aureus and Group A Streptococcus reported in 83% and 5% of positive cultures, respectively
Summary
Characterization of pediatric SSTI antibiogram and antibiotic prescription pattern, with specific evaluation of MRSA prevalence, antibiotic resistance and prescription patterns
