Failure to decolonize mupirocin and linezolid resistant MRSA from a patient with necrotizing soft tissue infection

Summary: Colonization with methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is considered to be a major risk factor for skin and soft tissue infections. We present a case of a patient suffering from necrotizing soft tissue infection and exposed to multiple antibiotics and developed colonization wi...
