Serious Skin Infections on the Rise

Skinbiotics Simi Valley, CA – As recently reported by main news networks such as NBC and ABC, and newspapers such as the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Times and Baltimore Sun, a study published last month in the Archives of Otolaryngology has documented the increase in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) head and neck infections in children across the US from 2001 to 2006 (Naseri, Jerri and Sobol, 2009).  Within the last year, another study published by the Archives of Internal Medicine documented an increase from 1997 to 2005 in skin and soft-tissue infections and antibiotics recommended for community-acquired MRSA (Hersh, Chambers, Maselli and Gonzales, 2008).  Referred to as the superbug, MRSA is a strain of bacteria that is resistant to most common antibiotics and has been found in hospitals and schools nationwide.  MRSA has the ability to cause infections in different parts of the body and the skin.
