COMPARING EFFICACY OF THE ANTIBIOTICS CONSIDERING NEW AGENTS USED TO TREAT ACUTE BACTERIAL SKIN AND STRUCTURE INFECTIONS CAUSED BY MRSA: A NETWORK META-ANALYSIS

Due to the emerging resistance against classical β-lactam-based antibiotics, a growing number of bacterial infections has become harder to treat. This alarming tendency necessitates continued research on novel antibacterial agents. Many classes of β-lactam antibiotics are characterized by the presence of the 3-aminoazetidin-2-one core, which resembles the natural substrate of the target penicil...
