Ten-Year Epidemiology and Antimicrobial Susceptibility of Pediatric Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome: A Retrospective Study From a Tertiary Referral Center

This study aimed to investigate the long-term epidemiology and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of pediatric Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome (SSSS) over a decade at a tertiary referral center. The authors found that methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant pathogen, with high susceptibility to first-line β-lactam antibiotics and favorable clinical outcomes, providing a valuable baseline for future antimicrobial resistance monitoring.
