lüll Antibiotic resistance in Staphylococcus aureus-containing cutaneous abscesses of patients with HIV Krucke GW; Grimes DE; Grimes RM; Dang TDAm J Emerg Med 2009[Mar]; 27 (3): 344-7PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to document the resistance patterns found in exudates from cutaneous abscesses of HIV-infected persons. BASIC PROCEDURES: Patient records were reviewed on 93 culture and sensitivity tests performed on exudates taken from incised and drained abscesses of HIV-infected persons. MAIN FINDINGS: Of the specimens, 84.6% were Staphylococcus aureus. Of these, 93.5% were penicillin resistant, 87% oxacillin resistant, 84.4% cephazolin resistant, 84.4% erythromycin resistant, 52.2% ciprofloxacin resistant, and 15.6% tetracycline resistant. Fifty-eight specimens were tested for clindamycin with 29.3% found resistant; 85.7% were methicillin-resistant S aureus (MRSA) (defined as resistant to both penicillin G and oxacillin). All specimens were resistant to multiple antibiotics including antimicrobials that might be considered for use in MRSA. No specimens were resistant to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, rifampin, or vancomycin. CONCLUSIONS: Empiric antimicrobial therapy of HIV-infected persons with cutaneous abscesses must be tailored to the high frequency of antimicrobial drug resistance including MRSA in this population.|*Drug Resistance, Microbial[MESH]|Abscess/*drug therapy/epidemiology[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Aged[MESH]|Exudates and Transudates/microbiology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|HIV Infections/*complications/epidemiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Staphylococcal Skin Infections/*drug therapy/epidemiology[MESH]|Staphylococcus aureus/*drug effects[MESH]|Texas/epidemiology[MESH] |
