Topical antibacterial agents.

AbstractTopical antibacterial agents occupy an important niche of antimicrobial therapy for both inpatients and outpatients. These agents, including antiseptic and antibiotic preparations, are used for prophylaxis and treatment of infection. Prophylactic uses include application for traumatic and surgical wounds, burns, intravascular catheters, and eradication of S. aureus nasal carriage. Topical antibacterial agents are also used for treatment of primary and secondary pyodermas. Individual antibacterial agents have been reviewed. Of note, despite the widespread use of topical antibacterial agents, further data on which to guide therapy are needed in many instances.
