摘要
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is now an established community pathogen in many areas of the United States and the world [1-5]. Community-acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) infections have changed several aspects of staphylococcal infections in children, including the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, laboratory diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
