Treatment of Impetigo in the Pediatric Population: Consensus and Future Directions.
CONCLUSION: Bacterial resistance to antimicrobials commonly used in treating impetigo has been reported. Antimicrobial stewardship is critical to optimize patient outcomes and to prevent the development of resistance. Healthcare providers should be aware of local resistance patterns in impetigo to help guide therapy. The use of newer safe and effective topical antibiotic alternatives as a first-line treatment should be an important step in antimicrobial stewardship.J Drugs Dermatol. 2020;19(3): doi:10.36849/JDD.2020.4679.

The in vitro antibacterial effect of permethrin and formaldehyde on Staphylococcus aureus
This study investigated the effect of permethrin and formaldehyde on the growth ofStaphylococcus aureus, in particular MRSA strains. While permethrin alone was not bactericidal, formaldehyde both in the presence and absence of permethrin was. This was at concentrations of formaldehyde and permethrin found in the anti ‐scabies permethrin cream and suggests a potential use of such creams for treating bacterial skin infections, particularly refractory impetigo. AbstractAntibiotic ‐resistant strains of bacteria such as methicillin‐resistantStaphylococcus aureus are a threat to human health, and effective treatment option...
