Abstract
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.
