AB  - Staphylococcus  and  Streptococcus  are,  by  far,  the  most  common  bacteriological  etiologic  agents  of  most  superficial  skin  infections.The  marked  increase  in  prevalence  of  CA-MRSA  has  made  it  necessary  to  consider  using  an  antibiotic  that  targets  this  resistant  organism  (clindamycin  or  trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole)  when  using  an  oral  agent  to  treat  severe,  recurrent,  or  disseminated  infections.Poststreptococcal  glomerulonephritis  is  caused  by  nephritogenic  strains  of  streptococci  which  can  cause  skin  infections  and  pharyngitis.  It  presents  a  couple  of  weeks  after  the  primary  infection.Tinea  corporis  can  be  treated  effectively  with  topical  antifungals,  but  tinea  capitis  requires  long  courses  (4–8  weeks)  of  systemic  antifungal  therapy.
