Abstract
A total of 37 patients with skin and soft tissue infections was evaluated after oral treatment with the narrow-spectrum antibiotic flucloxacillin (62.5 mg to 1 g twice daily). Only 3 patients failed to respond to therapy, with the remainder being cured or demonstrating a satisfactory response after 1 or 2-weeks' treatment. Five patients suffered from side-effects, which were minor and did not necessitate the withdrawal of treatment.
