Bacterial skin infections: Treatment1
■ Identification & elimination of predisposing factors like immunosuppresion, malnutrition, diabetes
■ Local hygiene is important & should be maintained
Encourage hand washing2
■ Supportive measures
Removal of crusts
Hot fomentation
Incision & drainage
Rest & limb elevation
Concomitant use of oral or topical anti inflammatory creams to relieve pain & inflammation

Bacterial skin infections: Treatment
■ Topical or oral antibiotic therapy is the treatment of choice ■ Localized areas are treated with antibacterial applications having a gram
positive spectrum such as:
2% Mupirocin cream or ointment, applied 2-3 times a day
2% Sodium fusidate or fusidic acid cream /ointment, 3-4 times a day
1% Nadifloxacin cream
■ Role of oral antibiotics
When widespread or deep infection is present or
If localized lesions do not improve with topical medication
Penicillinase-stable penicillins like cloxacillin, dicloxacillin are effective including erythromycin, azithromycin, cephalosporins

Drug MOA Dose 1
Mupirocin Inhibits bacterial protein & RNA synthesis, by inhibition of isoleucyl-transfer RNA synthetase2
Primary: apply 2% ointment topically 3 times a day for 3-5 daysSecondary: 3 times for 10days
Fusidic acid Interferes with amino acid transfer (translocase enzyme) inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis3
Apply 3-4 times daily to the affected part of the skin for a period of 7 days 4
Nadifloxacin(fluroquinolone)
Inhibits DNA gyrase (required for DNA synthesis & replication), thus inhibits bacterial multiplication5
Apply 1% cream twice daily for one to two weeks
Topical Antibacterial Antibiotics

Summary
■ Bacterial infections of the skin could occur de novo or may secondarily infect pre-existing dermatoses
■ Commonly seen in pediatric population and adolescents but can affect all age groups
■ Common pathogens implicated are gram positive cocci (staphylococcus aureus & streptococci)
■ Clinical presentation varies with the site & depth of involvement
■ Treatment is with topical antibacterial agents; systemic antibiotics added for extensive infections, deep seated infections & for infections not improving with topical antibacterial agents

Abbreviated prescribing information – T Bact ointment
■ T-bact Ointment (Mupirocin)
Composition: Mupirocin 2% w/w in a white, translucent water soluble polyethylene glycol base. Indications: For the topical treatment of primary skin infections such as impetigo, folliculitis, furunculosis and ecthyma and secondary bacterial skin infections such as infected dermatosis (e.g., infected eczema), infected traumatic lesions (e.g., abrasions, insect bites, minor wounds and minor burns). For prophylaxis: May be used to avoid bacterial contamination of small wounds, incisions and other clean lesions, and to prevent infection of abrasions and small cuts and wounds. Dosage and administration: Adults, children, elderly and hepatic impairment: 2-3 times a day for up to 10 days, depending on the response. Contraindications: Known hypersensitivity to any of its constituents. Warnings and precautions: Avoid contact with eyes, or use in conjunction with cannulae. If contaminated, the eyes should be thoroughly irrigated with water until the ointment residues have been removed. Do not use intranasally. Do not use in conditions where absorption of large quantities of polyethylene glycol is possible, especially if there is evidence of moderate or severe renal impairment. Interactions: No drug interactions have been reported. Pregnancy and lactation: Adequate human data on use during pregnancy and lactation are not available. However, animal studies have not identified any risk to pregnancy or embryo-foetal development. If a cracked nipple is to be treated, it should be thoroughly washed prior to breast feeding. Use in pregnancy or nursing mothers only when potential benefits outweigh potential risks. Undesirable effects: Burning, itching, erythema, stinging and dryness localised to the area of application, cutaneous sensitisation reactions and very rarely systemic allergic reactions.
