Epidemiological changes have been observed, and it has been found further dissemination at the community level and increased isolation in pediatric patients. Initially associated with skin infections and soft tissues, increasing episodes of invasive disease are described. Misuse of antibiotics has dramatically increased resistance to them in most of the world, resulting in the emergence of organisms with more complex mechanisms of resistance, which is a public health problem of growing importance. Furthermore, the importance of Staphylococcus aureus, is the ability to produce intermittent colonizations; which can progress to infection with varying degrees of severity.
