Based on the provided UK guideline context, specific antibiotic therapies for Staphylococcal Scalded Skin Syndrome (SSSS) in children are not detailed NICE NG19,NICE CG57,NICE CG179. While the guidelines discuss antibiotics for staphylococcal infections in other contexts, such as infected atopic eczema in children NICE CG57 and diabetic foot infections in adults NICE NG19, these do not directly specify treatment for SSSS. The provided PubMed literature titles indicate relevance to SSSS, but the content detailing specific antibiotic recommendations for SSSS in children is not available in the supporting context (Leung et al. 2018, Liy-Wong et al. 2021).
