Skin Microbiology Relevance to Clinical Infection

Not since the 1965 pUblication of Skin Bacteria lind Their Role in Infection has our knowledge of clinical skin microbiology been reviewed and sum­ marized. In the more than a decade and a half since that publication, we have seen a careful reevaluation of the ideas and information current in 1965 a...
