A 52-year-old woman presents with a localized swelling and purulent abscess in her right hand and enlarged lymph nodes in her axial region (under the armpit). She sustained a small puncture wound while replanting rose bushes 1 week earlier. She has repeatedly cleaned and dressed the wound with antibiotic treatment with no success. The physician collects an aspirate from the abscess, Gram stain reveals Gram-positive cocci in clusters. Laboratory data follow: Catalase: Positive Coagulase: Latex positive What culture media would be appropriate for culture and identification of the suspected isolate? Why? BBL, MSA What antibiotics would be used to treat this infection? Could there be any treatment problems with this isolate?
