* Have at least two of the following signs and symptoms of systemic inflammation or complicating factors: Documented or reported fever \>38.0°C; WBC count of \>10,000 cells/mm3; Greater than 15% immature neutrophils irrespective of total WBC; Elevated CRP or ESR; or Local/regional lymphadenopathy;
* Have a Gram stain with Gram-positive cocci in clusters or PCR result indicating an infection with Staphylococci.
* Have clearly failed as defined in the protocol previous treatment after a minimum of 48 hours
* Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening before enrollment
* Male and Female patients must utilize a highly effective method of contraception
* In the judgment of the Investigator have an expectation of survival and prompt improvement with effective oral antibiotic therapy and appropriate supportive care for the anticipated duration of the study
* Willing and able to comply with all the study activities and procedures in the hospital or clinic.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Have any one of the following conditions:
* Chronically infected "diabetic foot ulcers" or infections of chronic non-healing wounds of peripheral sites in a patient with advanced peripheral vascular disease;
* A wound infection involving foreign body or prosthetic material that will not be removed within 48 hours of initiation of treatment;
* Infected abdominal wounds unable to be surgically closed;
* Necrotizing fasciitis, rapidly necrotizing infections, or gangrenous processes;
* Infected burn involving \>20% of the total body surface area;
* Infected bite from human or animal origin.
* Erysipelas or a primary infection suspected or documented to be due to streptococci or infection with a Gram-negative pathogen without evidence of a concomitant staphylococcal infection
* Evidence of either a Gram-negative or Gram-positive pathogen not susceptible to treatment with protocol-specified antibiotics and AFN-12520000; or
* An existing abscess that cannot be drained within 48 hours of initiation of treatment;
* Unable to tolerate an oral formulation of antibiotic, have an underlying gastrointestinal disease (would be poorly absorbed or tolerated), have a medical condition or post-operative condition leading to significant gastrointestinal malabsorption, and/or are unable to tolerate a normal diet;
* Have a known or suspected non-skin source of infection such as endocarditis, osteomyelitis, retroperitoneal abscess, septic arthritis, meningitis, or pneumonia;

* Prior exposure to the AFN investigational product;
* Known hypersensitivity to the protocol specified antibiotic necessary for the treatment of Staphylococcus or the protocol-specified concomitant antibiotic for the treatment of bacterial co-pathogens present in the wound;
* Treatment with any systemic antibiotic (excluding topical antibiotics), which is potentially effective against prevalent community or hospital isolates of Staphylococcus causing ABSSSI within 72 hours prior to enrollment and treatment with study medication unless the patient has clearly failed treatment;
* Not expected to survive for at least 60 days after enrollment;
* Anticipated amputation during the study of the limb involving the primary site of infection;
* History of human immunodeficiency virus infection with a current or previous CD4 count \<200/mm3;
