Introduction

Bacterial skin and skin structure infections are among the most common infections treated within the community setting. There are a wide range of different types of infection, each with individual symptoms, epidemiology epidemiology, field of medicine concerned with the study of epidemics, outbreaks of disease that affect large numbers of people. Epidemiologists, using sophisticated statistical analyses, field investigations, and complex laboratory techniques, investigate the cause  and etiology etiology /eti·ol·o·gy/ (e?te-ol´ah-je)
1. the science dealing with causes of disease.

2. the cause of a disease.
. However, the majority require antibacterial treatment and, as a result, represent potential lucrative targets for novel product development and indication expansion.

Scope

- Disease definitions, symptoms, epidemiology and risk factors for key skin and skin structure infections

- Detailed seven country market analysis by class and indication, including volume and value assessments

- Breakdown of prescriptions for key skin infections by physician type, across the seven major markets

- Strategic analysis and recommendations for maximizing the potential of the skin infections sector

 need in the management of skin infections involving resistant pathogens increases the likelihood of gaining fast-track designation in the US. The potential for rapid market entry, reduced development costs and focused physician targets presents an attractive proposition for smaller players with limited resources.

There is a clear lack of synergy The enhanced result of two or more people, groups or organizations working together. In other words, one and one equals three! It comes from the Greek "synergia," which means joint work and cooperative action.  between acne acne, common inflammatory disease of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands characterized by blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, nodules and, in the more severe forms, by cysts and scarring.
