We measured the sensitivity to antibacterials of Staphylococcus aureus
isolated from impetigo lesions during one year (from July 1994 to Jul
y 1995). The largest number of strains was resistant to gentamicin, fo
llowed by erythromycin. Few methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains we
re isolated and few strains were resistant to more than one drug. We c
onclude that nadifloxacin and tosufloxacin are likely to be most effec
tive against S. aureus, but fusidic acid is more suitable for the trea
tment of children.
