Antimicrobial Sensitivity Profile and Resistance Factor to Staphylococcus Aureus Associated with Primary Skin Infection

Abstract

Objective: To demonstrate that antimicrobial resistance to staphylococcus aureus is directly related to the inappropriate use of medications in antibiotic therapy. Methods: Refers to an integrative review study. Data were obtained through a search in the databases SciELO, VHL and PubMed. The inclusion criteria were based on the descriptors, scientific articles published in Portuguese and English, between the years 2005 to 2021 and as an exclusion criterion, works that were not found in the descriptors and articles outside the established period were excluded, and in other languages, which are not in accordance with the objective of the study. Results: with the results obtained, it is possible to prove that there are many antimicrobial classes resistant to the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and that the cause is directly linked to the inadequate use of these medications in their antibiotic therapy, such as the dosage of the drug and the intensity of the treatment, which allows the patient is exposed to the drug for a long period of time resulting in resistance. Final considerations: It is necessary to adopt measures that reduce the risk of developing these strains, together with judicious treatment, guiding patients to comply with the drug dosage and the established treatment time in its entirety.
