"GLOBAL STRATEGIES AND CLINICAL APPROACHES TO STREPTOCOCCAL AND STAPHYLOCOCCAL INFECTIONS"
Abstract
This scientific article discusses in detail the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods and modern treatment strategies of streptococcal and staphylococcal infections, which are widespread and of high clinical importance in the human body. Streptococcus and staphylococcus are opportunistic microorganisms that cause severe, life-threatening infections not only in the skin and mucous membranes, but also in the respiratory tract, blood, heart valves, bone tissue and in patients with reduced immunity. Due to the sharp increase in the level of antibiotic resistance of these bacteria in recent years, their detection and treatment remains an urgent problem for global medicine.
