    Abstract

    In the last years increasing of numbers dermatologic patients with chronic wounds and problem bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) have been reported. Even though it is still unclear if bacterial contamination with MRSA independently interferes with wound healing, both the logistic and therapeutic consequences of identifying MRSA are considerable for the patient and the treatment facility. In this review the practical consequences and the therapy options associated with the identification of MRSA in patients with chronic wounds are considered.
