Coming soonA *Staphylococcus aureus* skin and skin structure infection is a bacterial infectious condition involving the integumentary system, including the epidermis, dermis, and deeper subcutaneous tissues.
It occurs across both pediatric and adult populations when pathogenic *Staphylococcus aureus* breaches the cutaneous barrier, utilizing surface adhesins, enzymes, and cytolytic exotoxins to induce localized tissue damage and an intense inflammatory response.
Clinically, these infections frequently manifest as purulent lesions—ranging from folliculitis, furuncles, carbuncles, and cutaneous abscesses to purulent cellulitis and infected wounds—characterized by localized erythema, edema, warmth, pain, and pus accumulation.
Without timely therapeutic control, the infection can progress to extensive tissue necrosis or disseminate hematogenously, resulting in invasive systemic complications such as bacteremia.
