Abstract

Staphylococcus aureus (S.aureus) is a gram-positive bacterium that causes common pyogenic infections and plays an important role in community- and hospital-acquired infections. S.aureus pneumonia can occur secondary to an infection elsewhere or primarily in the respiratory tract. The widespread and unreasonable use of antibiotics has led to the increasing antibiotic resistance of staphylococcus. Therefore, to effectively treat staphylococcal pneumonia while avoiding the risk of drug-resistant staphylococcus bacteria, it is necessary to have a reasonable antibiotic use strategy.
