Abstract :Necrotizing pneumonia is a severe infection that usually affects immunocompetent children, timely and effective treatment is life-saving. Although identifying the causative agent and determining antibiotic susceptibility is the most important step in guiding treatment, the causative agent can be demonstrated in less than half of the cases. The lack of an effective vaccine against S. aureus increases the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
