Antibiotic sensitivity of pathogens from infected skin lesions.

One hundred and seven patients attending an accident and emergency department with infected skin lesions were studied. The commonest organisms isolated were Staph aureus and Strep pyrogenes. Routine antimicrobial sensitivity testing of bacterial isolates showed that the antibiotic most likely to be effective against the organisms isolated was a cephalosporin or a tetracycline.
