Abstract
Uncomplicated skin and skin-structure infections (uSSSIs) are common community-acquired infections which are often caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes, although other pathogens are often involved. A recent treatment algorithm has recommended the use of cephalosporins as an appropriate antibiotic therapy for uSSSIs and, in particular, highlighted cefdinir as an extended-spectrum, third-generation cephalosporin with good antimicrobial activity and favourable tolerability. This case report briefly reviews the rationale for the use of cefdinir in the treatment of uSSSIs and presents two case studies to highlight the clinical use of this agent.
