About Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections (cSSSIs)
Complicated SSSIs characteristically involve deeper skin structures or coexist in patients with comorbidities or immune suppression.1 Major abscesses, infected burns, bite wounds and ulcers, as well as diabetic foot infections are categorized as cSSSIs.2

About Staphylococcus Aureus Bloodstream Infections
Known to be the most dangerous of the common types of staphylococcal bacteria, staphylococcus aureus infections can range from mild to life threatening. This bacterium tends to infect the skin; however, it can infect almost any site in the body through bloodstream travel (called bacteremia). Particularly, infections can affect heart valves (endocarditis) and bones (osteomyelitis).3
