Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a common pathogen responsible for health-care-
associated infections as well as community acquired ones. It is the
etiological factor of a wide spectrum of infections. Therapeutic
problems are caused by resistance of S. aureus to many antibiotics,
specifically to methicillin (methicillin-resistant S. aureus, MRSA).
In such cases a limited spectrum of antibiotics may be used and
prolonged hospitalization is costly. Hence, there is an urgent need
for the development of alternative antibiotic therapeutics. This work
reviews the current knowledge concerning prospective treatment of
staphylococcal diseases.
