The skin provides a remarkably good barrier against bacterial infections. Although many bacteria come in contact with or reside on the skin, they are normally unable to establish an infection. When bacterial skin infections do occur, they can range in size from a tiny spot to the entire body surface. They can range in seriousness as well, from harmless to life threatening.
What Causes Skin Infections?
Most of the Skin infections involve skin and the tissues under the skin, they are formally classified as skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI), which include relatively minor infections such as:
- Impetigo
- Minor skin abscesses (sometimes called furuncles and carbuncles)
- More serious infections, which are now called acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI), include
- Cellulitis
- Erysipelas
- Wound infections
Major skin abscesses (larger than 75 cm2 accompanied by swelling, redness, and hardening and thickening of the skin)
