S. aureus infections increasingly resistant to clindamycin, TMP-SMX

Methicillin resistance among Staphylococcus aureus isolates has decreased among children since 2005; however, researchers reported increases in resistance to clindamycin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, especially for methicillin-sensitive infections. “When community-associated MRSA was on the rise from the 1990s through the early 2000s, clinicians sought alternatives to antistaphylococcal beta-

Article Description

The epidemiology of Staphylococcus aureus infection in children is dynamic. We conducted a retrospective observational study on pediatric clinical cultures, performed between 2005 and 2017, that grew S aureus to determine temporal trends in antibiotic resistance. Although methicillin resistance declined, clindamycin and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole resistance increased significantly, especially among community-onset isolates.
