Acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) are the type of skin and soft tissue infections that affect the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissues. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) defines ABSSSI as lesions with cellulitis/erysipelas, wound infections, and major cutaneous abscesses occurring in a minimum surface area of 75 cm2. Pathogens such as Methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA), Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Beta-hemolytic Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa are the major causes of ABSSSI. This infection is difficult to treat due to increasing prevalence of drug resistant strains, especially in Staphylococcus spp. and Enterococcus spp.
Market Dynamics
Increasing incidence of ABSSSI, rising research and development activities by market players, and increasing adoption of inorganic growth strategies such as acquisitions and collaborations by key players operating in the market are the major factors that are expected to drive growth of the global acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) market over the forecast period.
For instance, in July 2020, Sandoz Inc., a Switzerland based pharmaceutical company (a Novartis Division) announced the launch of Daptomycin for injection 500 mg, an AP-rated generic version of Cubicin (daptomycin) in the U.S., for treatment of adult patients with complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) (also known as ABSSSI) caused by Gram-positive bacteria and certain bloodstream infections such as right-sided infective endocarditis, and others
