Abstract
Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) skin infections have few treatment options in modern medicine.

The present report describes the case of a man with carbuncle during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, in which clindamycin-resistant S. aureus (mecA, Sccmec-IV) was identified in two blood samples.
