Descrição: Staphylococcus aureus is a common clinical pathogen. Does every S. aureus infection require anti-MRSA drugs? Reported here are three cases of a community-acquired infection with S. aureus. The first case involveds a 45-year-old male who was admitted due to right ankle pain for 1 month; he was diagnosed with chronic suppurative osteomyelitis and an acute soft tissue infection of the ankle. S.aureus was cultured from the pus and was resistant to penicillin and sensitive to oxacillin and vancomycin. After receiving oxacillin, he was cured and discharged 45 days after admission. The second case involved a 44-year-old male who was admitted due to lumbar pain with right lower limb numbness for more than 1 month and fever for 1 day. S. aureus was cultured from blood specimens and was resistant to penicillin and sensitive to oxacillin and vancomycin. After receiving oxacillin, he as cured. The third case involved a 7-day-old newborn who was admitted due to skin jaundice for 6 days. S. aureus was cultured from skin secretions specimens and was resistant to penicillin and sensitive to oxacillin, erythromycin, and vancomycin. The newborn was treated with oxacillin for 4 days, and she was cured and discharged. Not all cases a suspected S. aureus infection require anti-MRSA drugs; instead, previous S. aureus susceptibility results in the area and hospital, as well as the patient's clinical profile, need to be taken into account.
