A pediatric patient presents with wet, flaky, "honey-crusted" lesions on their face. The physician decides to prescribe topical antibiotic ointment (Mupirocin) without doing a culture and sensitivity because he's "seen this a thousand times." Unfortunately, the lesions show no improvement, and the child does not recover quickly as expected. New oral antibiotics ("EryPed" or Erythromycin) must be prescribed. Explain to your groups & TA what this means, what structures are involved, what it means in terms of helping the patient, and how it may work.
A) Group A Streptococcus
B) Staphylococcus aureus
C) Candida albicans
D) Pseudomonas aeruginosa
